I don't really understand them.
Every time I see a discussion about them, I am usually confronted with enough reasons why I don't like them that I never spend the time to truly understand them.
Here is what I think I know:
They aren't always easy to purchase.
They are sold at auctions. (I don't have a clue how this works)
What I know I don't know: How long are the maturity terms? Do they vary?
How much capital would you need to invest right now, if you could get them, to secure 50K/ year floor, inflation protected?
Do these questions even make sense?
