Thanks for all the info!

I too have been looking at I-Bonds, and beyond the 1 year mark the penalty for redeeming isn't too bad, if new bait in the future should be juicy enough

But the higher base interest rate of the older TIPS is certainly appealing. I may have to look into that. But it would seem that a year or two old TIPS with a significantly higher base rate is going to command a higher price on the resale market, right? So does this all end up in a present-value analysis to try to figure out what a reasonable price would be for a year or two old TIPS? My natural skepticism says I might be taken to the cleaners on that!
