    Besides investing in gold and commodities ETF funds, I want to invest in tax free bonds. How can I do so?

    Can I setup an account on etrade to buy these tax free bonds?

    You can set up an acount with treasurydirect.gov

    I would think that you should do a search on California Tax Free Muni Bond funds. I personally think highly of the American Funds RTCFX, TAFTX, TECFX.

    Vanguard offers a CA tax free fund VCADX.

    Schwab CA Tx Free SWCAX

    One thing to consider about Bonds at the moment is the fact that Municipalities are going to start hurting as Homes go into Foreclosure and less tax revenues come in to support repayment. Jsut a potential risk to consider in your analysis.

    LOL, I would have sold you mine. I unloaded them a couple of months ago, precisely because I figured their revenue would be in jeopardy, and the insurers would start to default, sooner or later. I still have some but they are in small chunks and hence (knock wood) risk is not too high.
