Anyone have insight as to why these bonds are trading so low? In some cases, it doesn't make sense. For example, I own some Texas muni utility district bonds (MUD bonds). They are G.O.'s, 5% coupon, 2,400 homes in the district with active connections and a history of prerefunding older bonds, but no underlying rating on the bonds.
And these bonds are trading in the 70's? That doesn't seem right, but I don't have any data on the default rate of Texas MUD bonds. I would imagine it is quite low. Radian bonds seem to have a bad stigma about them, no matter what the quality is?
