Housekeeping note: there will be no article this upcoming Monday (11/27), as I’ll be taking a few days off for Thanksgiving. I hope you all enjoy the holiday.
Based on my email inbox as well as discussions at last month’s Bogleheads Conference, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are the hottest investment topic right now. There’s something inherently funny (to me) about the safest, most boring investment being the current “hot” trend. But as John Rekenthaler notes, high TIPS yields are a tremendous boon for retirees or near-retirees.
