I Bonds, or Individual savings bonds, also called Series I savings bonds, are savings bonds that are issued through the United States Department of Treasury. They are guaranteed to never lose value. I bonds are started with a 1 year minimum hold time, and the bond can not be released. They also have a penalty of three months of interest rate if they are redeemed before 5 years. After 5 years the penalty for redemption will end. In times of inflation the I bond will accrue interest. This interest can be earned for up to 30 years. When the bond is redeemed, let's say in 30 years, one will get the original amount invested and all of the interest accrued over the 30 years.

Are put bonds good?

Put bonds are a symptom that something is really wrong with the company. There are two reasons you might consider issuing put bonds--ones where you promise to buy the bonds back on certain dates if the purchaser demands it. One is that you can't get anyone to take your bonds otherwise. The other is where you want to ward off a hostile takeover. You issue a pile of put bonds. The acquirer will know that if he consummates the takeover, when the next date the bonds can be put back occurs a lot of people are going to be at your door demanding their money. This technique is known as a Jonestown defense--because if the acquirer decides to abandon the takeover after seeing the mass of put bonds you sold, and all your bondholders put back their bonds after the hostile takeover falls through, you will probably go bankrupt.
