I'm guessing that TIPS pay a higher rate of interest thatn I-BONDs do at present. What is the advantage of IBonds over TIPS?
Tips deflate in value if deflation occurs, and for long periods of deflation, a tips bond may not pay its face value when turned in.
I think that for a lot of people, $10k is the reserve.... I know it is for me. I don't think anyone was advocating sitting on top of $100k in a checking account yielding .25% interest.
