In this episode, we roll up our sleeves and dig into the realm of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities or, as they are more commonly known, Tips, and their close relatives, I-Bonds. Like usual, we take these puzzling topics and break them down into bite-sized, easy-to-understand pieces. We explain what these securities are, the nitty-gritty of how they're priced, and explore whether they deserve a spot in your investment toolbox.

Today’s Bullets:

* What are TIPS?

* What are I-Bonds?

* How are they priced?

* Are they a good investment?
