Thanks NiceUnparticularMan!Why nominal for the first couple years?
The "normal" reason some here use nominal FUNDS for the very short term is very short term TIPS funds don't really exist. If you are buying individual, though, why not just TIPS all the way down?
Why nominal? The result would be a sure thing to the penny for the first 2 years.
Going individual TIPS all the way may or may not do better.
I vote that only the future will give us the correct answers.
Sure funds or ETFs could also work...just not for me because I warm up to cherry picking and predictability.
