Short Term Treasury Notes
Municipal Bonds
Precious Metals

Personal Debt

Which would be better at this time, 5yr or 10 yr TIPS?

100% in TIPS makes alot of sense to me given the current state of the economy. There is no guarantee that the market will recover over the next 10 years, look at the Nikkei, down over the last 25 yea ...
