Savings Bond search trends on Google

Categorized as: Savings Bond FAQ
Google has just introduced a new feature that shows, in relative terms, the activity for specific search terms over time. Click here to see the Google trends for Savings Bond searches.
I’ve set this up to show searches that included savings bonds, savings bond, i bond, or ee bond and to only include searches from the U.S.
You can see a jump in searches each time new rates are announced in May and November, but the surprise is the large number of year-end searches. Could those be related to people wanting to give Savings Bonds as gifts? Or is it related to year-end bonuses and investing decisions?

After six years, over 400 posts, 3,680 real comments, and over 90,000 spam comments (thank you, Akismet, for making managing a blog with comments possible), I am closing public comments on Savings-Bond-Advisor.com. I will contine to update the main articles on this site, but not the comments.
Virtually every question about Savings Bonds has been asked and answered on this site multiple times. Use the search feature (see the box in the gray area near the top of this page) or the detailed menu on the lower part of the home page to find the information you're looking for.

Sorry, that was my fault. My friends ditched me on New Year’s Eve, so I drank egg nog and googled savings bond info all night. 🙂
Dan, Dan, Dan….
I’ve had fun looking at trends on google and trying to spot patterns. For what it is worth, both “college fund” and “mutual fund” have a similar year-end boost as the one you found.
Here’s a fun one to think about. Explain trend pattern for “communism”.
