July 6, 2013: This chart shows the TIPS Core Yield
(Base Rates), Series I Bond base rates and "Expected Inflation implied
by the TIPS Spread" for 10 and 30 year TIPS.
Kirk's Newsletter Explore TIPS. Two years ago I recommended my subscribers avoid gold (as it was making new highs) and instead purchase individual TIPS directly from the US Treasury. I took some profits already but I still hold some. With base rates for 10 and 20 years TIPS once again positive and climbing , I am starting to consider putting some of the money I took out as profits back in. This table shows the TIPS I still hold as of today (7/6/13) in my explore portfolio.   Two Years ago in "Global Inflation Pressure Rising: How to Profit" I recommended individual TIPS and Series I Bonds over gold as a "safe" way to profit from moderate to high inflation. "Bottom line, gold and silver can continue to soar but they can also crash like they did after peaking after the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970s. If you want a SAFE investment that will keep up with inflation, then individual TIPS and Series I Bonds are your tickets.Positive Base Rates for TIPS: Note that 10, 20 and 30-year TIPS now have positive base rates which means they pay a total return (yield) above inflation. For example, if inflation is 2.0% then the 10-year TIPS will pay inflation plus the base rate or 2.0% plus 0.66% for a total of 2.66%. |
