Real yield of TIPS climbing
The real yield of TIPS (U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) have been climbing in recent weeks. The 5-yr, 7-yr, 10-yr and 20-yr real yields are now close to 2.7%, which are new highs for the past 4 years or so.
The following charts show the historical and recent real yields. Data is obtained from the U.S. Treasury website.

Stumble it!

M* post on Larry’s shift to 100% TIPS in his IRA. Interestingly, I exchanged part of the Prime MMF sitting in my IRA to VIPSX on 6/11 and exchanged more MMF today to VIPSX and VFICX.
