Where's the 'Protection' in TIPS? Better to Go with Silver and Gold

Your blog is shockingly inept. With 4+% inflation, a 2.75% money market is a lot worse than TIPS. Moreover, 20 year tips are at 1.8% plus inflation, which is a strong case for owning thm at this juncture. Bingo on the point that they are insurance against another Jimmy Carter presidency, which killed Ma and Pa saver. They should be in TIPS instead of the equity portfolios that the mutual fund industry is pushing at retirees. I won't even mention the bad advice dished out by 99% of the commission brokers. Disgraceful.
