Treasury Website Strains Amid Heavy I Bond Orders..

The Treasury’s website is straining under what appears to be a flood of orders for series I inflation-linked savings bonds ahead of a deadline Friday to receive a juicy 9.6% interest rate for the first six months.

The only way that investors can buy the I Bonds is through the TreasuryDirect website. They can’t be purchased through banks and brokers.

“Due to exceptionally high traffic, the TreasuryDirect website has experienced intermittent slowdowns today. We are in the process of adding to the system’s service capacity and taking other steps in the hopes of resolving the issues quickly,” the Treasury said in an emailed statement to Barron’s late Wednesday.

bonds are debt market…

corporate bonds are risky…not treasury…

if US default or bankrupt…then only your treasury bond will be default…

I thought these bonds are safe. Aren't they? 

They are until US inflation is controlled and rates go back to good 3’s . I bond( inflation bond) is tied to current us inflation rate. Catch is u have to park ur money for 5yrs to avoid taxes
