Personal Investments • Re: Dipping my toes into TIPS

Thanks watchnerd. Perhaps a good next step is for me to get to know the vanguard platform. Don’t think I’ve seen it yet.

Login.

Go to top menu: Transact >> Buy & Sell >> Trade Bonds & US Treasuries >> Select which account >> (window will pop up) >> Select Treasuries >> Type: TIPS

Thank you, I just logged in. Pasted the first row further below.
I still have little idea on what this all means tbh. How did you learn/take the next step?
I believe it's best to not have TIP's in brokerage accounts? Perhaps best to wait until the time I roll over my 401k into an IRA to buy TIPS?
