Treasury TIPS and I-Bonds

                   

I have been saying for years; TIPS and I-Bonds are not a panacea to avoid inflation risks of the market place, one of many varieties of risk that beset the investor.

                       

You get the secure return that the U.S. Treasury provides and an inflation cover. But you can get risk mitigation with ordinary corporate bonds provided you use the wise principle of “duration” I describe in my writing, And with diversification, using low-cost mutual funds.

                       

Risk avoidance does not mean an avoidance of secure wealth accumulation over the years.(See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
