The year to date return on the vanguard inflation protected securities fund is down about six point en eight %. The rise in interest rates has a bigger effect, it turns out, than than current inflation. Will that change in the next few months? I don't know. What i do know is they act differently from regular bonds. They act differently from my stocks and they have reasonable long returns.

This episode Dr. Dahle covers a variety of your questions. We talk about when it is worth passing cash through a 529 account and if you should use 529s to fund K-12 educations. We talk about how interest on iBonds works and go into why TIPs have been performing pretty poorly as of late. We dive into the tax implications for S Corps and talk about why it is not a great idea to purchase ETFs after hours.

I estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low.
