Yeah, that's the thing. From what I'm reading as long as you make a one-year commitment it's pretty liquid after that. You're not going to get rich off of it given the interest and purchase limits, but it's looking to me like a great place to park some money as a hedge against a stock pullback, and make a much better return than putting it into some cash account. Other than just opportunity cost if you're in an aggressive investing mode, I don't see a downside.

I've run the numbers for myself, and while they're not completely generalizable due to some unique things to my household (e.g., my assets in IRA versus investment accounts), I concluded that I need about 20 times my salary to maintain my standard of living to age 99 without tapping into home equity. This assumes 3.2 percent inflation and investment returns in roughly the 4.5 percent range annually. So 20 times your salary isn't rich, but it'll give you a good likelihood of retiring with no financial compromises.

This may not be "rich" by certain standards, but living stress free financially for decades is pretty fulfilling. Good job, Rainman. |

Series I bonds are probably one of the only "safe" places for money currently. I think they're a pretty good deal if you can withstand the 1 year holding req.
I guess the other downside is no fixed rate, right now. They were pretty stingy with that fixed rate portion even when the fed raised rates a few years back. I think I got some w/ .5% fixed. woo! |

I'll do a little more due diligence, but at the moment I'm leaning toward maxing out on purchases for it.

But ... yeah, maybe. I still have the aggressive heart of an investing warrior, but I've run the numbers and a 3.5 percent post-retirement return buys me the life I want. So I want the lowest-stress way to make that 3.5 percent.

Decide if you’d like to take profits on 25 or 50% of the position. One strategy is each day raise your stop loss on amount you plan to sell to low of previous day and just wait until you’re stopped out. This gives you best chance to catch most of a large vertical move without selling too early and missing more gains or selling too late and losing these gains.
I’ll give you an attaboy. Nice job making money on this. |

This is getting pumped hard at closing, I'm just going to hold thru the end of the week at least. Fingers crossed.

I'm in a similar boat, trying to decide how I want to play it. There's going to be an inevitable pullback, but will it continue to grow in the grander scheme? The EV market is so difficult to predict.
