I woul accept a system that invest only in TIPS. But corporate America is yielding internal rates of returns, on the average that are twice what long term bonds do, so a mixture of the three ETF and TIPS would be a ood long term chpoice, provided no timing exercise are allowed. Even if the market goes nowhere like in the 1966/82 period and the current 2000 to ?, monthly investments of same amounts would eventually yield more than treasuries.

re: investment choices

If the dollar erodes for the next five years would you agree that its safety net is nonexistent.
The combined ages of my parents is 188 and watching their financial frames of reference erode is strange. Both are still sharp and when my father asks: "What's going on with this economy?" I am going to send him your way.<g>
