Same - bought some.My DW and I were 5-yr TIPS buyers at this auction. Very pleased.
I'm looking to extend maturity dates out longer than 2-5 (even 10) years at ~5%. I've always stayed with CD's or treasuries. I've never bought an Agency bond before and would like some opinions/concerns of them. I found this one 3130B0XX2 on Schwab. FEDERAL HOME LN BKS 5.05% 04/17/2034, Callable in whole or part One time beginning 04/17/2029 with 5 days notice. I like 5 years at 5% and 10 year seems pretty good too? Thanks for any input!
Sounds like a reasonable approach to me.Because we continue to have this inverted yield curve and the inflation scenario is still murky at best if not somewhat negative for the next 2-5 years (IMO of course), I am thinking of changing my strategy a bit.
I will use a Hybrid approach. Im my mind that means 3 to 18 month CDs and treasuries to capture the higher rates portion of this inverted yield curve. And some TIPS and plenty of total market index fund shares for long term protection against inflation. My AA will most likely be in the area 50/50.
Diversification is the only real answer I can see for my situation. YMMV.

If we are in for several years of 3+% inflation you are looking like a champ.My DW and I were 5-yr TIPS buyers at this auction. Very pleased.
No doubt about it. I am going to grab some of these short term rates. I have common stocks, Ibonds, and a few Tips for inflation protection. Time to add some current income.This week’s T-bill auction results:

Hi Marie,Yes. I absolutely, positively, no way, no how was going to put in a bid.
I confess that I gave up on the 52 week T-bill a week ago and got a brokered CD instead.
