@yogibearbull : The bigger question , IMO, can one exchange I-bonds or must you sell & then buy. That would leave one with $10K in I-bonds over two years instead of a total of $20K.
Thanks, Derf
Does the increase in interest equal the penalty + one is only able to buy $10K - PLUS so much in a tax refund. Thought about having a large amount withheld for taxes, then from refund buy more Ibonds. Amount aloud to buy from refund is also limite…

St. Peter : I thought that the team may have a line up of mostly senior, but not the case , only one ! More favorites to fall today !

@hank : What % does a bond heavy fund have to be in bonds before you would consider to "lighten" up on ? Was this in a tax advantage account ?

One would think this pertains to most states.

@yogibearbull : Please set me straight. If a traditional power generating & distribution utility adds solar & or wind for generation , how does the power commission handle this situation. With that said I wouldn't see a problem if traditi…
