Searching for the Best Bond ETF

excellent article and information, very educational and useful, thank you

inflation, of course, is a more than valid concern re return – but assuming inflation will remain a problem forever is like assuming the stock market will rise or fall forever also

in a deflationary environment, which I believe is more an issue than most people do I think, these type funds of these type interest paying treasuries have been and would be in demand

the belief in perpetual inflation is useful for someone wanting or trying to create monetary dilution, keeping everyone focussed on spending and accepting inflation as normal

at my age, and thus for all practical purposes, this may be true :-) however, I tend to believe that deflation alternates w/inflation in our current fiat environment (and may well have under the various gold standards, I’m not sure)

thus, re the treasuries value, I think, like most everything else, they’ll vary over time

and gold is great, literally; but I tend to prefer it for insurance at this point, over any increase in value; the insurance being storage of value

and toilet paper (as per the commentator above), well, I try not to be out of it :-)

info re international treasury etf's would be interesting, esp if they were for countries w/as close a risk base to that of the u.s. as could be found
