My spouse and I are diversifying our long-term investment portfolio by adding various stocks and ETFs. We've allocated $220k to begin with, focusing on inflation-indexed bonds and companies with strong cash flows. I think the current market presents a good opportunity for long-term gains, but I'm also interested in learning ways to make short-term profits.

Investing and trading are more than just having TA skills. There is a big component of discipline and emotional maturity, that one has to work on! Time in the market vs. timing the market.

Great video!!! Now I have more knowledge about finance. In my opinion, mutual funds has to be one of the most profitable ventures out there but younger people must understand that the keyword in all of this is "diversifications" especially given the times. You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. I have doing drop shifting, real estate, ETFs, crypto and stock for a very long time but I made my first million (in profit) early this year from cryptocurrency alone (through the help of an IA). I also experiment with a couple of other things. Imagine what the situations would have been giving in mutual funds if I were solely banking on them. That's alot of profit too.

I just have to keep extra money that first year though since you can’t withdraw in the first year. There are a lot of predictions that inflation will remain high for 2 years and the longer you hold the less of a hit foregoing the last 3 months of interest is for withdrawing in the first 5 years.

That’s not the point. The point is that he will have an extra income. Maybe some parents will think that way that when their kids got extra money, that makes them lazy. I think it depends on how you train the kids when they are younger. For instance, kids cannot do what they want to do and doesn’t have the freedom to explore their passion because they don’t have enough financial support for them to support their goals. So, instead of pursuing the passion, they end up being unhappy doing a job that they don’t want. That’s why, I think a lot of people nowadays are so unhappy, because their parents never really plan for their kids future that when their kids became adults, they end up struggling, depressed, homeless and some even commit suicide - paying loans and such that they have to stay in a job that they hate. I am saving for my son because I want him to have the freedom to experience life and pursue his passion in life once he is old enough to be independent. I don’t want him to worry about paying student loans or paying debts but I want him to focus on what will make him happy. Planning for my son’s future by investing in the I Savings will not make my son become lazy. I am supporting his future so he can pursue what he would want to do - if he would want to pursue arts, or travel while in school, write books, become a musician but not a starving one - he will have the funds that will allow him to do that. Aside from I Savings, he already have his own custodian long term stock investments which he can choose to keep for the longest time that he would want to keep it. I let my son dream of what he wants to be. And I don’t just let him dream, I am creating a way that will support him to get to that dream. And I think that is when most parents fail, they let their kids dream but lean on getting loans and debts to support their kids dreams.

One thing I think the FEDS could do to boost people buying I-bonds and boost overall excitment is drop the tax rate by a lot if you hold onto your I-bonds for the full 30 year term. One thing I love about I-bonds is they take very little effort and thinking. I buy the I-bond and it just does its thing. I don't have to check up on it every month or worry if the interest rate is low for a 6month term because it is meant for long term investment and that works on the total life of the bond. Some people don't like them and that's fine it's their money spend, save, invest however you want.

Thanks for the good info. Some other points: - The limit is $10,000 per person per year. So by planning ahead you can acquire a more substantail holding. - In addition, you can buy $5000 more per year by using your IRS refund - Inflation-based bonds are a different asset class than either stocks or regular bonds. Having different asset classes is a good thing - promotes stability. - An alternative to I-bonds is TIPS (which are best held in a tax-deffreed account like and IRA - bookkeeping is much easier).

Its stupid to buy ibonds. Here's why. Fixed rate zero..right? Floating rate is 7% NOW!! But, you're buying to hold for YEARS. So if inflation comes down...so does your return. But, you're forced to hold the bond anyway. That's not even to account for the fake inflation number that's given by the fed. Instead ..look for the very best dividend bearing stock, which barring a national meltdown, will give you 4-5% along with the possibility of even higher return from the stock appreciation.

3 to 5% after a year for i-bonds, alternatively... lots of banks are pushing savings accounts with 4% APY some even close to 5% APY with no restrictions on moving your money or penalties. I am not the most savvy investor, but if you put $100,000 into one of these accounts at a 4% rate, you still earn $333/mo just for keeping it in there. PNC bank for example. Would an i-bond earn more?

So many comments on how you get a better return elsewhere. Yes of course thats true but its also risk vs reward. More risk more potential reward but this vehicle is ideal for people with a diverse portfolio. People who have liquid assets in a portfolio sitting in a savings account can gain alot more in an iBond. If you have $$ in savings that you just have there just because then you might as well put it in something that returns more than .40 %. Heck I just checked my savings account at chase and it only gets .02%. The iBond vehicle looks great when it compares to a savings account. I guess it depends on your level of greed and your current financial situation

Right. I built my emergency funds up buying IBonds way faster than I would have if I just put the money in my credit union's - money market account. They're also great for building up down payments for vehicles, homes, or other large purchases. The deferral and tax benefits are nice as well. Defer up to 30 years and no State or Local taxes on earnings. I will be buying IBonds for the rest of my life.

Currently the fixed rate is 0%. The Fed is expected to raise the interest rate next year. Let's say this happens before May 1, 2022. Doesn't that mean that the fixed rate (which also contributes to the calculation of I Bond interest rate) will be more than 0% on May 1, 2022 for the purposes of calculating the I Bonds interest rate?

When you buy it, your bond is locked in with a base rate at that time, currently it's 0. Your overall rate is just inflation hedge, no premium otherwise. If they raise rates, then your next purchase after the next reset would have a different base rate plus the semi annual inflation rate
@Miguel-pd3no

Holly, good question. The Treasury department decides the fixed rate. There's no criteria used or magical formula. It's whatever the Treasury department says it is. I, and many other people, do think the Treasury Department used the current TIPS fixed rate as a guideline. The current TIPS fixed rate is still negative, so I think we'll need to see some movement before May in order for the new IBonds fixed rate to be above zero. That said, rates have been moving upwards rather quickly, so there's a chance. Also, the fixed rate at purchase is for the life of the bond.

Hard ain't it. I just added my girlfriends as Beneficiary. You are correct. I got an email saying changes were made but has not showed up on the page yet. 8 years ago I digitized EE and I bonds. Took them 6 plus months to do it. Bank, Annuity, Investment companies have to search for Beneficiaries. I'm sure treasury direct will not. So let your son know about the account and he might need a lawyer or good accountant to forward assets. (It is that hard) Just for the record. When done he will get his own digital account. They won't cut a check direct to him. Never ever list Treasure Direct as an asset when applying for any program. a 5 year lookback they only will find it from your checking account if you have been adding to the Treasury Direct in the last 5 years and they might want that money back. The rest is a black hole they will never find. 8 years ago they would answer questions via e mail. In the last 6 month emails tell you to call them on a phone never answered.
