Article Abstract:

The relationship of daily taxable and municipal securities with the daily indicator of a probable tax reform that can remove the preference for municipal securities, or the flat tax, was examined. The market price of Iowa Enterprise Inc. flat tax champion Steve Forbes' shares proxied the possibility of tax reform. The indicator of tax reform's targets was found to have a correlation with the fall of some maturity bonds.
