David Enna analyzes the advantages/disadvantages of I Bonds vs. TIPS. He states that I Bonds are better short-term investments while TIPS are superior longer-term investments at this time. Link
I have been saying this too since the new I-Bond rates came out. Afterall, both capture the CPI (see chart below), so why no go with much higher yields of 5-yr TIPS now. BTW, the real yield curve is also inverted now. REAL yields 5-yr 1.71%, 10-yr 1.57%, 30-yr 1.63% https://stockcharts.com/h-perf/ui?s=VTIP&compare=$$CPI,TIP&id=p61496575979
