Thanks, I forgot all about remedial economics.
Would you like to point out the intricacies of the drivers of inflation?
Also, why is gold superior to TIPS?
Also, if you believe gold is going to be driven by inflation, why is it superior to just shorting the dollar in the futures market, or shorting interest rate futures?
Please, I beg you, enlighten me.

Because I don't trust (/understand) this system anymore. Do you?

Serious question here. With TIPS the increase in value so to speak is based upon the CPI. However, the CPI does not include energy or food. I know my gas cost has risen a bunch. I have a 28 month old girl and milk has gone from 3.59 to 4.29 in the last 2 years. So to me TIPS are getting screwed. Why wouldn't you be better off buying rising rate funds and shorting the Lehman bond index?
