The White Elephant That Could Destroy Your Portfolio, Part I

Why if inflation is supposedly running in the double digits are 10 & 30 year U.S. treasuries yielding 3.875% and 4.375% respectively? Is the entire U.S. treasury market under estimating inflation?

As I read this article I thought it would be interesting to simply put BRK-B into QPP and see what I would get. I was suprised to get an average return of 11.7% and a standard deviation of 22.2% using the period from 4/1/04 to 4/1/08. Why is the standard deviation of the individual BRK-B stock so much different than the combination of the underlying stocks?
