Another thing about I's is that if you use them for college tuition the interest becomes tax free.

If the Stripper really likes you,
She will give you money.
No! You cannot ask how I know that!

I will neither confirm nor deny this, but the only thing I ever got from a stripper was not money, and it needed antibiotics to make it go away.

But of course you did. Everyone knows that when using a stripper you must wear rubber gloves or you will burn your skin.

I bought two just a few days ago - one for me, one for the Mrs. Yes - there are catches and they are taxable, however even after taxes they are still yielding a higher interest rate than pretty much any other well rated investments are at the current time.
They are also optionally tax deferred so you don't pay any income tax until you sell them. All in all not a bad deal these days!

We bought I Bonds just yesterday for my wife. ( $10,000 maximum ). Supposed to produce a good yield. I've heard that before.

Chief38 pretty well summed it up.
Right now I Bonds are hard to beat.
If you know of a better place to put $10,000 right now,
Let us know!

My Online Broker TD Ameritrade has JP Morgan CDs with a 4.5 percent coupon.
I expect most all online Brokerages have the exact same CDs.
One year for 4.551%. 9 months get 4.318%.
I also see short term US agency Bonds over 4.
Bought some Agency Bonds last week.

Yo Big E.
Answer is nobody can tell you for a absolutely sure how much interest you will get from the I Bonds.
The Interest varies with the inflation.
If that bothers you and I can see that it might, you maybe could consider something with a fixed return.
But if you believe that inflation will continue to be high, I do, then the
I Bonds are the closest thing to a sure thing that we have available.
If I could put in more than $10,000 I would!
