Jay B asked:

I looked into the treasury direct website and I see that the I-Bonds have a 4.84% interest rate, this seems like a good rate. Is this the best type of bond I can purchase, if not which one is best and why. I will choose best answer for the best explanation.

karen star asked:

Yahoo Finance has a good way to organize a portfolio of stocks I want to watch or track. Is there a site (Yahoo or other) that offers a way to track data about bonds the same way? I want to know maturity dates and rates to maturity for several bonds we are thinking of buying, but I can’t find the information anywhere other than calling a broker right now.
Can anyone recommend a good preferably free site. One with yahoo would be perfect.
Jeff and CME – both good sources. THANKS!

Can anyone tell me the difference between EE and I bonds?

Saturday, May 1st, 2010
premierexcellence asked:

I would like to know which is better to buy for my kids. I was told to buy I bonds but my boss and I are having a disagreement on which is better. Which earns better interest and in the long run would be worth more. Say for example a $100 Bond. I know you pay $50 for the EE and $100 for the I. So in 30 years what would be the outcome of the two?

What is the performance of treasury bonds most closely correlated with?

Saturday, April 24th, 2010
Jay asked:

I’ve got two mutual funds that I need to cash out for a down payment on a home. Both are bond funds that invest primarily in Treasury Bonds. I’m closing on the home in late December and I’m wondering if I should cash out now or wait until late December? I heard the Fed may cut interest rates again and I’m just curious how that might impact my fund performance. Thanks in advance!
