2 New Ways to Hedge Inflation with ETFs

Tom,
It greatly diminishes you that you announce this without even remarking on what a lame marketing gimmick and a fraud the CPI ETF is.

A portfolio that's almost 90% in nominal US treasuries is the precise opposite of a hedge against inflation. It's a perfect way to set yourself up to get destroyed by inflation. When inflation and nominal rates get up to 10%, how will those 20year treasuries be doing? This is irresponsible and you are irresponsible for failing to mention it.
