I'm wondering if it's still possible to purchase tips. Are they still available for sale, or have they been discontinued? I'd like to know if I can still get my hands on some tips.

    Purchasing TIPS directly from the U.S. Treasury is an option for investors.

    For those who prefer not to purchase directly, there are alternative routes.

    Investing in a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund that specializes in TIPS is one such alternative.

    These funds provide the added advantage of professional management, taking the burden of decision-making off the investor's shoulders.
