Talk:Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund

Grabiner - re: the two criticisms you added (taxes on TIPS and buying bonds directly). They are not specific to this fund. The first one is about buying TIPS in general. The second one is about bonds vs bond fund in general. Neither is the fault of this specific fund. Perhaps move them to the TIPS article? Tfb 02:54, 30 May 2008 (EDT)

The tax issue should probably stay on this page, as one of the main issues is whether to buy TIPS (probably through a fund) versus I bonds in a taxable account. The issue about bonds versus bond funds could be moved if we create a general page (rather than just the brief FAQ section) on the issue. (However, it is particularly relevant to TIPS, as a TIPS ladder in an IRA is a natural choice for a retirement fund.)Grabiner 18:06, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
