There are some posts somewhere on this forum where you addressed buying TIPS bonds directly from the government vs buying into a TIPS fund like Vanguard's. I could not follow the pros and cons of each way. Could you please elaborate for me?
I sold some real estate and am considering how to invest the proceeds. My wife has an illness that may require me to spend most or all of these proceeds over a 6-8 year period starting in 1-2 years from now. So I think I should be pretty conservative. Will you opine on the merits of a TIPS based investment vs laddered CDs ?
Thanks
