Hey swordfish,
Been buying at all?
I own 14 individual stocks. Probably buying more IR, GE and JNJ this morning. One would think GE will have a difficult year ahead considering their finance and infrastructure divisions. Long term purchases. I hope to still own them in 10 years.
Definitely be thinking about putting rest in TIPs. I already have a sizable bond position in a tax-free account.
One thought on TIPS is it is tied to CPI which I'm not sure is a very reliable tracking of inflation. In a hyper-inflationary environment would TIPs track that reasonably? i have doubts. Any thoughts?
