Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities, or TIPS, have negative real yields and three-year returns that are barely positive. And the very risk that they purport to defend against--an unexpected uptick in inflation--is nowhere on the horizon. Regards, Ted http://news.morningstar.com/articlenet/article.aspx?id=690490
