@gumby said ↗I really don't understand TIPSInflation staying flat or rising A 5 yr TIPS will do better than a 5 yr Note. Your coupon rate is fixed on the TIPS but your principal goes up if the CPI/inflation rises. It will never be less than your original principal. I don’t understand either. Coupon rate will be applicable to the rise in principal also.
