Summary
- Wait at least until the March inflation number is announced on April 11.
- You then enter a three-week ‘limbo period’ when you can decide to buy before or after the May 1 rate reset.
- Don’t bother buying I Bonds as a short-term investment. You can do better with one-year, best-in-nation bank CDs.

Hi Carole,
Have you subscribed to this yet? The entire post is on Seeking Alpha. I am registered and have a password so I can read the entire article and make comments if I have questions to ask. I recommend signing up for the TIPswatch so that you get an email when he posts something new. Then I put the dates on my calendar. For instance, he says to wait until the new rate is announced in April, so I will put that in my yearly calendar.
