>>>Paying tax as the principal accumulates seriously reduces the attraction of this instrument. Ashley: I don't see this as much of a negative. True, with a regular bond you're able to use the interest you get to pay the taxes owed. But you'd be in pretty much the same situation if you simply sold a little of your TIPS holdings to pay your taxes. Of course, the best place to hold TIPS is in an IRA or other non-taxable account. Peace & good health, Bulba
