59 of 60 economists in a Wall Street Journal poll expect interest rates to be higher at the end of 2004 than at the beginning I would not bet against that. I'd buy ten year bonds and hold them to maturity if they paid around 6%. I know then ten year treasury is 4 1/4%, so we have quite a way to go. The Treasury dept has made it easy to buy bonds publicdebt.treas.gov Unfortunately...for EE bonds: The rate is 90 percent of the average 5-year Treasury securities yields for the preceding six months 2.61% Is it any wonder that Americans piss it all away? But I don't want to be a hypocrite here, so I'll come clean. I intend to put my daughters through private school, so that will wipe out my savings in less than five years. It's a free country, nobody has to have a savings account or a pile of EE bonds. Spend it!
