i'm not that bullish on tips       they are a bond just like any other bond    bid down by all the excess money chasing after these so called safe govt securities       it just dont seem to me they pay a sufficient ( inflation )  premium to be of any value     and dont forget the inflation component of these bonds is the cpi         and i hope you dont think that actually represents inflation

I'm not too bullish on tips either.  That's why I say only for medium term (1-5 years) and only for conservative investors.  Many people don't have the risk tollerance necessary to ride through the undulating plateau that lies ahead.  I think the bumps and swings will be quite large in silver and gold.  I'll just be buying during the dips in the 200 day moving average.

I realize that these bonds are related to CPI but when the inflation hits they'll still be better than 10-year notes.  I believe gold and silver will be the best stores of value in years to come.

Again, 10 different people will have 10 different answers.  I've learned a lot from the opinions of others here on TOD.  May I ask what you think are going to be the good investment vehicles in the furure elwoodelmore?
