I agree that owning longer term bonds @ 4 % is not the best of options. There are those (okay, maybe ONE!) around here that see that as an option. I really don't...But... What ARE the options given your scenario of "real" inflation @ 5-10 % ? I suppose the new commodity index (DBC is it ?) with oil/gold/etc. in it might work...but some say oil could fall a fair bit...so we could lose $ in that. One year GIC's in Canada can be had @ 3.7 % or so...Not bad, i think they were a point lower a year ago... It'd be nice to get more concrete ideas on what people are doing allocation wise given the above.
