Default Re: I Bond

Be careful with churning the bonds yearly. The older bonds have historically been worth more because of the base rate. You also loose a 3 month penatly for withdrawing less than 5 years. I would plan on holding these for at least 5 years and only liquidate them if needed.

People are banting about that the new rate will be about 7%. This will probablly be unlikely to get this high. We will see shortly.
