Long maturity bonds were fabulous performers during that period mainly because of plummeting yields. Plus bonds came thru the 2000 and 2008 market collapses in good fashion. There were virtually no defaults among investment quality bonds. Things WERE pretty scary around 2009, but the market, especially the muni market, quickly rebounded.

True, bond coupons weren't that high even in '93, but long term bonds also generated fat capital gains.
