Producer Price Inflation Is Not Dead

TIPS for inflation protection relies on official government inflation numbers which are not accurate indicators of true inflation. I wouldn't trust the government to issue a bond to protect me from inflation that gov. has created...would you?

A better bet would be some of the MLP's that raise rates at % higher than inflation. Yes, more volatility, but higher returns are baked in. Nothing is risk free, not even TIPS, but I like my chance better with GDX, and MLPs for long term inflation protection.
