Back on TMF's from time to time I would post my equity holdings as I've always felt them to be more interesting than bonds. That said, based in part on the information Wendy has been posting, I figured I'd do a bit of evaluation on what my bond ladder looks like (all government of one sort or another and mostly "inflation protected" - not that I don't think the government won't try to minimize the reported rate). As in equities, I tend to buy individual bonds rather than funds. On the I-Savings bonds, you can determine the date I bought them by subtracting 30 from their maturity date. The percentage of ownership is based on their market price today (not on either cost nor maturity value).
