Start at bottom you see how what fixed rate “was” in 1998 and said rate progressively decreased I didnt include last few years
Inflation component changes

Hmmm ya so perhaps the ibond is better since it adjust for inflation. I dont mind 5 or 10 year cds or bobds, but 30 is a long time. Part of me would want to throw it into a stock of a company that repurchases with dividends but I suppose same principle

I am no expert , I started with very little and through very careful management still have very little.

However, its certainly a good parking spot for “safe” money.

Good solid blue chip stocks with reasonable dividends are a good spot as well as dividends are taxed less than regular income (for those of us who pay taxes).

Beware of value traps , stocks that have very high dividends that seem too good to be true....

Solid advice; for dividend repurchase I would pick a safe company that pays out lower quarterly if possible
