Knighty, my only issue with TIPS are that the inflation numbers are lies. they exclude everything going up... like housing. then they pretend the number was real. if housing was included in inflation, the housing bubble would have sucker punched even the idiots in washington a LOT sooner.

i won't be too happy getting 3% when actual inflation is 15%. i exaggerate... or not. i'm really not sure, to be honest.
