Evening all!
I just got this notification in my e-mail from the treasury direct service. That's the site the treasury runs to sell individual investors auction bonds, but also Series E, EE and I bonds. Last time I checked, the I-Bonds, which are tied to the CPI, were paying a yield over 4 percent, better than even the auctioned bond series. But my e-mail from the treasury said the following.
Dear TreasuryDirect Account Holder:
The Savings Bond Purchase Limitation has been changed to $5,000 per series
and TIN per calendar year. Please cancel any pending purchases that exceed
the yearly $5,000 limit.
This is an automatic message from TreasuryDirect. Please DO NOT respond.
If you have questions e-mail us at treasury.direct@bpd.treas.gov
Thank you for using TreasuryDirect

So much for trying to beat out the inflation, at least nominally.. :tsk
