    Notice what the I-bonds have been paying?

    Think that has any chance of continuing?

      No, the fixed portion on them is zero.

      I have i-bonds with 1.4% fixed component from 2002-3

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Index fund investing is my plan for the next decade or two. If inflation causes prices to increase then maybe companies see better stock performance because of the increased revenue? Who knows. I do recall when interest rates were up about 10-15 years ago you could throw cash into savings accounts making 3-4%, so that’s always an option that may appear in the future too once the feds begin to raise rates in the next few years.

          Didn't Lynch say something recently about index funds and inflation?

                I don't put money in the stock market. Never have, never will. I didn't want to get such a small ROI.

                      The real interesting thing about index funds is - if everyone were to just buy index funds, the buy/sell signals of individual trades dries up.

                      Does the market still work ok with only relatively few people actively trading equities.
