And of course, if you owned a lot more than $1,000 of tips, which many big investors do, then that percentage would really start to become some serious money.
And then in 2027, you would also get not $1,000 back, but enough to compensate you for all the inflation that takes place over the next five years, whatever that turns out to be.
In general, bonds tend to be more stable than stocks.
And treasury bonds, which are government bonds issued by the federal government in the U.S., are even safer than a lot of bonds are.
So even when bonds are having a really bad year, like they are this year, they're probably not going to be having as terrible a year as stocks are.
As an example, right now the S&P 500 big stock market index is down more than 20% this year, around 22-23%.
Bonds are having one of their worst years in anyone's memory.
and yet they're still down more along the lines of 15% to 16% if you look at a broad basket of bonds.
And that's pretty typical, that even kind of at the worst of times, bonds are going to give you more stability than stocks.
And part of that comes from the feature we were just talking about, where if you hold the bond until it matures, you're promised, especially with a government bond, that you're going to at least get your initial investment back.
Yeah, that's correct.
So I-bonds are another kind of bond issued by the Treasury.
And like tips, I-bonds also offer you a different kind of protection against inflation and maybe even better protection against inflation.
The reason that people pay a lot of attention to tips is that they're broadly traded not just by individuals, but also by professional investors.
And so there's a really big and interesting market for tips that says a lot about what's happening in the economy.
So this sounds a little bit scary and might not be quite as bad as it looks.
So if you bought a tip last year or two years ago,
and you plan to hold it until it matures to protect you against inflation, that plan is going to work out exactly like you thought it would.
If you hold it till the day it matures, you will get your original amount back.
You'll get any interest payments you're owed.
