Thank you! This was very informative.
Thanks for the video!!! It is very helpful. When I check the TD web, it does not specify how much I can buy ibond as a gift to someone. It only mentions I can only gift $10,000 to someone each year. Does it mean I can buy, for example $50,000 ibond to my wife as a gift this year and deliver to her $10,000 per year for the next 5 years?
Good presentation. I thought no federal taxes.
What is the difference between paper I bone and electronic I bonds??.. pro and con between the difference?…I appreciate you time.
Thank you
Can you clarify how the 3‑month interest penalty works? For example, say I buy a bond right now at 9.6% and that rate is good for six months, and then the rate drops to, say, 0% for the second six months. After 12 months, I decide to cash in the bond, so I am subject to three months loss of interest. Is that three months interest at the initial rate of 9.6%, or is it three months interest at the final rate of 0% or is it based on the blended rate which would be 4.8%? I think how they handle this penalty is key to making the decision on whether to buy the bond if you only plan to keep it a year.
Very disappointing that the video doesn’t show, step-by-step, how to designate a beneficiary or a joint owner.
can i buy with a credit card?
the amount you gain per year wont even cover 1 month of rent in nyc better off opening a small business and sell some junk on ebay
This is a perfect video 👏 This is exactly what I’ve been looking for 😊
Sadly you have to be 18 to purchase
So, when you buy these I Bonds, there is just a record in Treasure Direct website? That’s it? Nothing on hands?
Does that 9% interest rate stay throughout the term or does it change after 6 mos?
Incredibly helpful video. The walkthrough saved me a lot of headache trying to navigate the site. Really appreciate this!
Incredibly useful video. The website is a bit newer on the front end, but the same once you log in. So the instructions on how to actually buy still work. Thank you CNET.
Why is a British woman with roots telling us about American bonds?
Why is an Aussie explaining to the internet how to buy American savings bonds? Sounds fishy.
This is only for US citizens right???
