    How do I understand the pricing of a Texas municipal bond listed at, say, 102, given the possible state tax benefits from municipal bonds? Does that imply paying $1020 for a $1000 face value, and what elements affect this pricing?

    If you prioritize reliable long-term appreciation in a blue-chip location, then a 4.2% cap rate makes sense.
    But if maximum cash flow with potentially more aggressive value-add plays is your focus, then a 5.5% cap rate in the neighboring area could be more appealing.
    A prime location offers stability and value retention, but a higher cap rate area gives you better cash flow, but the risk factor is high.

    Yes, shifting VEA to Roth is more tax-smart, as Roth IRS offers tax-free growth and withdrawals, which makes it good for higher-yielding or less tax-efficient assets.

    Consider VEA's higher dividends in taxable accounts. Analyze the long-term growth and tax implications of both VEA and VWO within your Roth account for tax-efficient international allocation.

    A complete withdrawal to influence US legislation carries significant financial risk and uncertain political impact. The US market is vast, and the impact of even a large outflow might be limited. Every international investor should prioritize financial stability over political influence.

    There are better ways for investors to approach, like

    Engage U.S. policymakers diplomatically and advocate their concerns. Invest in value-aligned firms to influence corporate policy. Collaborate with other international investors to amplify voice and concerns.

    I guess the more strategic approach will always benefit.

    I am planning to deposit a 19-month CD at 4.45% versus a high-yield savings account (HYSA) at 3.85% for $60,000. What are the key factors to weigh for this investment? Could you please let me know which option is the best at the moment?
