rg (11/08/82)

For a long time now I have been wondering what the difference
are between the types of investments listed below.  I would appreciate
it if someone knowledgeable would explain each type the their respect
pros and cons:

     1) Treasury notes (an easy one)

     2) Municipal bonds

     3) Bonds

     4) Debentures

Which of these has federal, state, and/or city tax advantages.  I'm
sure there a lots of people who are interested so post your reply
on the net.  Add in any other investment types that you know of.
