There's been some discussion on whether to sell tip bonds that were bought back in 2008 over at bogleheads. Some of us could sell them with a long term capital gain. These thoughts came to me so I posted at the heads site and now here. What are your thoughts on this?
I too bought individual tip bonds when it was the (Swedroe) craze in 2008. No offence to Larry, I'm happy with the purchase so far.
I've noticed several threads about tips and whether to sell them now that there is a capital gain possibility. I could make about 14K on the ones I have now.
So I thought of this:
You guys help me turn this rock over and look at the other side.
If I decided to sell them, Who would buy them?
Why would they buy them?
Whats the thinking on this?
If a buyer thinks they are worth having then why should anyone sell?
Help me and others see/examine this other side of the rock/coin.
Thank You in Advance,
Steve
