Excuse my ignorance. OK that said, no laughing.
I am looking at I Bonds and TIPS. and I have some questions.
1) Is now a good time to buy them. (Say 30% of a portfolio, if I can get that many)
2) I looked on Treasury direct for TIPS and really do not understand what the current rates of return are for them. Can someone help explain how they work.
3) Is it best to buy direct from the Web site or from a bank or does it matter?
4) What is the MAX of each anyone can buy at one time? I think this is clear on the Treasury site, but I would like to confirm. Something versus paper and virtual holding.
Oh! I should say for the record I am considering these for After Tax Money (Taxable) funds. I understand that is not a good idea, TIPS are better held in a Pre-Tax environment?
Thanks
