Us Bonds Investment Safe Secure Slow Growth
   
Savings Bonds are appealing to investors for several reasons:
* Since they're backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, they're one of the safest investments.
* They're free of state and local income taxes, which increases their effective yield.
* They're federal tax-deferred (taxes are paid when the bonds are sold), allowing you to claim the income at a time when you are in a lower tax bracket.
* Bonds purchased since January of 1990 may be free of federal tax altogether if used to pay for a child's college tuition, if the parents fall within the eligible income levels.
While the interest rate earned on Savings Bonds is low compared to the historical performance of the stock market, if your primary concern is protecting your principal, saving for a child's education, or generating tax-deferred income for retirement, they may have a place in your portfolio.
When the stock market is not performing well and interest rates on savings and Certificates of Deposit are low, savings bonds are even more attractive to many investors. However, they should be used to supplement your 401(k) or other retirement plan, and not as the basis for your retirement.
While you won't get rich by investing in US Savings Bonds, you won't lose your shirt either.
