Treasury bonds can be a key part of your long term investment strategy. There's been a lot of talk about Series I bonds, which were created to protect you against inflation (something we've all been struggling with over the past couple of years). But are they still a smart choice in today's economy?
In this episode of the podcast I wanted to talk about this classification of treasury bond, how it can help you in your portfolio, and whether now is a good time to buy them.
In this episode you will learn:
- What Series I Bonds Are
- Whether They're a Good Investment
- How to Buy I Bonds
- Whether You Should Buy I Bonds
- What the Risk Factors Are
