Today's I bonds are better investment than the ones issued from May through October, which had a fixed rate of 0%. And inflation would have to extraordinarily low for these I bonds to ever pay as little as today's EE bonds. Tom Adams Cathie - You are correct, however, everything is relative.

But, in the future if the inflation rate is really low and you add the low fixed rate, won't that make the bond a really bad investment?

I was told that if I buy a fifty dollar bond that in 7 years it will double therefore will be equal to 100.00. My children are 12, 10, 6 and this is the first that we have had any extra money to start saving for college. I figured that if we could double what we are paying for, the children would have a little savings for college. Is it true that in 7 years the bonds double?
