People aren't reading the link and don't realize that it's 1. an I bond not a T bill and 2. Has a variable interest rate based on measured inflation that adjusts twice a year (the 7.12% in the title is the combined rate, so it can change during the term of the security).
- loeg 5y agoIn particular the fixed rate component is 0%. It will match inflation but not beat it.
- medvezhenok 5y agoIt can beat inflation but only in a very certain/rare circumstance - inflation followed by deflation (since the nominal return on the bond can never drop below 0%).
