I don't have any experience with selling bonds before they reach their maturity date.
A quick Google search says that TIPS can be sold before their maturity date, while I-Bonds
cannot.

With any other type of bond, if rates go down, then the bond goes up in price.
Does the same thing happen with TIPS, since it's payout is part fixed and part inflation
adjusted ? Google says the price will go up. I'm thinking since the inflation adjustment
would decrease, then TIPS would not go up in price as much as a fixed rate bond, during
rate cuts. But TIPS still have that edge over I-Bonds.

The Big Kahuna In Charge of Things really wants a rate cut, and word is that he has personally
bought over $100 Million in bonds since taking office in January. Might be worth putting
some money into bonds between now and Powell's end of term as head of FED. Trump is sure
to get a lackey installed.
