Bottom-Line: As long as you can spare the investment cash, I say purchase I-Bonds and like traditional EE savings bonds, keep them tucked away for retirement.

In my opinion the recent economic turmoil has made 410(k) accounts that have traditionally invested heavily in the stock market, a losing proposition. ...

 There are several types of US Savings Bonds available of investors, and the I-Bond Series is designed to protect investors from inflation.  First issued in 1998, this bond is quite different from the much-better-known EE Series US Savings Bonds (http://www.viewpoints.com/EE-Series-US-Savings-Bond-review-41801...

The United States Treasury I Bond is a welcomed addition to savers who have bought EE bonds over the years.  However, these bonds need a watchful eye because the rate changes every six months. It is currently over 5% which is a splendid return.  There is also a three-month interest penalty if you don't keep the bond 5 years.  Still, this is far superior to the EE bonds return which was a paltry 1.4% the last time I looked. And if rates tumble for the I Bonds, you will still be ahead even with the three month penalty.  Finally, these are a breeze to purchase.  You can do it on-line at the Treasury... review »

This is the best choice for investing in bonds and for saving for your future. The United States Savings Bonds provide the security needed to safeguard your money. The United States Government pays me for lending them my money to use for healthcare, education, military, Economic Stimulus Package and other things on the United States Government Budget. It is also the best gift for your children and grandchildren. It helps save for their future. So by actually saving my money by lending it to the United States Government there is no possible way to lose...!!! :-D
