iShares Barclays TIPS Bond (TIP)

[**D*A**]

I wish I had the option to purchase TIPS in my 401k. My only choices are a few bullish mutual funds. I can't take advantage of market downturns except to go in cash. According to the scary video by Peter Stansberry, cash isn't all that great a place to be. I take those scary predictions with a grain of salt but do use it as a warning to at least have a plan.

I see absolutely no possible way around inflation.

Here is a chart. Please let me know if the overlays will suffice, I will not be offended in any way and can change them to your liking.
