I compared I bonds and TIPS using the info from the treasury website. I bonds pay inflation + 0.30% interest, while the 5-year TIPS pays inflation + 0.65%. The only advantage of the I bond seems to be that it can't lose money if interest rates increase... which is hardly even an advantage. Is there any reason to get them over TIPS?
