Time for Income: Time for Bonds?

Excellent article. There are an awful lot of chicken Little's running around crying "inflation is coming, inflation is coming." I believe you accurately pinpoint the reasons why inflation is not a serious concern in the short run, or probably even in the intermediate run.

Are Stocks Always Best for the Long Run?

I think this is a very important article. The paradigm regarding owning stocks for the long run has certainly been broken at the present time, and may not be true for the foreseeable future. I have my money at Fidelity, and I get irritated when they tell me that 50% of my money should be in stocks. I finally called up and asked them if they realized that it was possible for the stock market to go sideways for the next decade. They are so into selling mutual funds that they can't that they need to market more fixed income products for retired persons like myself.
