Should I wait for interest rates to rise before investing?

I'm new at purchasing savings bonds and have just recently come across your web site. Should I wait until interest rates go up again to start purchasing savings bonds?

Tom's response

Professional financial advisors recommend investing on a regular schedule rather than trying to guess the future.

This way you may not get the best rate offered, but you won't get the worst rate offered either. Instead, you'll get the average rate over the time period that you invest.
