The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There is another (slight?) risk with TIPs. They depend on the government's definition of what the CPI is. The current administration has demonstrated a willingness to create their own reality and might choose a CPI that is less than actual inflation. That would be another reason to stick with 1-3 month Tbills where the price (and thus inflation) is crowd-sourced, as it were.
