May 1,
2012 Announcement: Series
EE bonds issued from May 2012 through October 2012
will earn today's announced rate of 0.60%.
Series EE bonds issued from May 2012 through October 2012 will earn today's announced rate of 0.60%. (Series EE bonds issued since May 2005 are earning interest at a fixed rate, depending on the rate set when the bond was issued). Series EE bonds issued from May 1997 through April 2005 continue to earn market-based interest rates set at 90% of the average 5-year Treasury securities yields for the preceding six months. The new interest rate for these bonds, effective as the bonds enter semiannual interest periods from May 2012 through October 2012, is 0.81%. Market-based rates are announced effective each May 1 and November 1.
Series EE bonds issued before May 1997 earn various rates for semiannual earnings periods, depending on dates of issue. See www.treasurydirect.gov for more information. For more conservative investors who have no interest in individual stocks, I co-edit "The Retirement Advisor" where our most aggressive model portfolio is slightly less aggressive then the "core conservative portfolio" in Kirk Lindstrom's Investment Letter."
