But at the current rate, it's hardly appealing, especially when you can only buy $5,000. A better choice could be TIPS. Yes, when you have 2% fixed rate, it’s nice to own I-bonds.

I have very few I bonds, I bought them back in 2002 when the fixed rate was 2% and have wished ever since that I bought more. Did you see the current rate on bonds bought back in 2000, it's over 8%! I'll probably buy more simply cause of the pain in my portfolio, I now realize I don't have enough in bonds. Yeah I was hoping for a little better than 0.7%, but it sure beats zero!
