CK,

Just another question. Are you short index funds? If so, why and have you got any research to back it up? What makes you say index funds are over-popularised?

Also, why would you short US treasuries? I read an article this morning from the FT saying that the value of bonds have actually gone up with expectations of inflation. Shorting US treasuries is by far more risky than investing in the S&P 500 (even if indexing has become a bubble) especially if you are looking to use leverage. There are many other profitable ways to make money during an inflation,

You can buy oil and gold as inflationary hedges. If you expect crime to increase, invest in prisons...

Please don't take this the wrong way. I just want to know how you have reached your conclusions.

Best,
Harsh
