I have been following your comments with a great deal of interest, and I feel compelled to delurk to ask you the following: if we are indeed in a period of deflation, why are you long stocks as you have stated in other posts? Wouldn't it be preferable to go 100% into investment grade credits, since they represent claims on nominal dollars? (Note that I'm not disagreeing with your thesis per se, but I'm just puzzled by the apparent contradiction.)
