Mostly because this is the first TIPS on primary being purchased and wanted some reassurances. One reason was also to buy a TIP at near the original inflation factor. Question, is it more advantagous to buy TIPS on primary if later on there is deflation? Suppose I buy a bond at PAR value and then deflation occurrs, I still get the PAR value back upon maturity. If I buy a bond above PAR value, I could get a loss even if I hold to maturity?Why not? Yields are great. Whether you want to take a chance on them being better at auction or in the secondary market is a crap shoot...up to you.
