[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new rate has a fixed component of 0.4% that will stay with the purchase for 30 years. Consensus is that 3 years is the break-even point between the 9% vs the 6% purchase after which the new bond would have been a better purchase.. [/quote] I don't know where you saw that "consensus" but the analysis I've seen from TIPS watcher and the bogleheads board suggests the break even is more like 8 years, although I think it depends a bit on assumptions about future inflation because one bond will be ahead of the other in inflation adjustments.[/quote]
