Series I Savings Bonds, also known as I-bonds, are offered by the US Treasury as a way to protect the purchasing power of your money from being eroded by inflation.

This is protection many investors want badly right now, as inflation has roared back to life over the past year and a half. After decades most spent under 2%, as of the time of this recording, the official Consumer Price Index, or CPI, is currently at a 41-year high of 8.6% annualized:

The way that I-bonds defend against this is they earn a monthly interest rate that’s usually higher than the CPI. So their return beats or comes quite close to the officially-reported inflation rate.

In this video, we explain what I-bonds are, how they work, what their benefits are & how to buy them.

We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.

There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?

Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
