[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10 year performance for TIPS is .84%. Yikes! [url]https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/profile/vipsx[/url][/quote] That is basically the same return as any bond fund these days— the bond funds were hit hard by the rise in interest rates this year. There is a way to approximate this strategy with TIPS funds instead of individual bonds but I wouldn’t try it, nor would I try to speculate on interest rates use TIPS funds. [/quote] And this guy’s promising 4+%?[/quote] Honestly if you can’t understand the difference between a bond ladder and a bond fund you probably should hold off commenting, but yes basically he is taking advantage of the drop in bond fund values to buy individual bonds on sale knowing the federal government has promised to pay the full maturity value plus fixed interest plus inflation adjustments.
