Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
If any folks here own TIP, you should look at your recent monthly dividend, or lack thereof. The ETF has not paid a monthly dividend this year and, in fact, has a negative yield. This could very likely continue if recent yield and pricing trends remain unchanged. PRRDX is also in negative 30-day yield territory. We have thought for quite a while that this was likely to happen, as folks bought up inflation-protected treasuries for "safety", especially during the euroscares of 2011. We are continuing to liquidate all of our TIP holdings.
