I decided my new M.O. will be buy $2.5k at the end of April (in addition to the $5k with the tax refund) and $7.5k in May to split the difference should the fixed rate component change. I had put in an order after hemming and hawing all month about "now" or "wait?" I think this should simplify my thoughts going forward having a process in place.
If I wanted to pay taxes today, I'd probably do a TIPS but as I prefer deferring them, I Bonds are where I'm at.
