hi kirk & all, link below is a chart of IBOND vs s&P over the long term may come to some as a surprise.
i need ur opinion on long term avrg cpi vs cd rate. currently i m thinking of cpi of 2.5 vs cd rate of 5. if i want to calulate value at some future date say may 2019 ?
i added to ibond from y2k to y2k3. for the first time cpi has come in negative giving me zero returns for the next 6 months.
What do u think of taking lower base rates bonds out pay tax and invest in corp bond funds , and junk bond funds and cd?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL UR WORK AND INFO U PROVIDE.
