TIPS?
I can’t think of worse counsel than to tell someone to buy TIPS right now.
If FED lets inflation get out of control and tries to keep nominal rates low you are looking at negative returns. TIPs will be destroyed if the FED continues their taper and rates rise.
If you think you must play TIPS, at least do it in IVOL so you have a former Goldman trader monitoring it for you.
But in this climate, find a fund that gets you in a net put position against the 20 year. That is a much better hedge for your exposure than TIPS.

Agreed. TIPS are trash right now.
