I'm tempted, part of my grand scheme to put 10% or so of my egg
into a ladder of 5yr TIPS. But the YTM's are SO darn low, though
they've been creeping upwards (from 2% flat) for the last week or
two. I don't quite understand the YTMs at Bloomberg (2.13%
on price of 100.30, as I type). When I use the popup calculator
at http://www.moneychimp.com/articles/f.../fmbondytm.htm
I get abut 2.3% typing in the same numbers.
