— Outline

00:00 Intro
01:34 Consumer Price Index
We discuss how inflation is measured and look at historical inflation. Recently inflation has been low, but there have been years with over 15% inflation!

02:26 Risk of Unexpected Inflation
The primary risk from inflation comes from unexpected inflation. I summarize a Vanguard research paper that evaluates how various asset classes protect against inflation. I then share which type of investor I think is most affected, and why it could make sense to seek inflation protection. I discuss why I think short term TIPS are one of the best options for the investor seeking inflation protection.

    Good info, but it would have been great to see a comparison in returns between, say, $10K invested in TIPS and $10K invested in an I-Bond, in both an inflationary and deflationary environment.

    I've been scouring the internet for a couple years and have found very few that give you the facts so plainly without dumbing down the information. Thanks, you've earned my subscription.

    For those who haven't opened an account, do you recommend that we buy this month or next month in November? Thank you so much.

    Hi Nick. Thank you so much for your video. I have a question for I bond. If I invest $10,000 before 10/31, when will I start earning the new rate of 7.12%? Thank you.

    So I shouldn't move my s&p stock to inflation protected bonds?
    If inflation rises, wouldn't my s&p stock lose money?
    While inflation protected bonds would grow correct, while inflation rises….???

    I bonds seem like good deal as opposed to today's cd rates. What do you think about buying Ibonds for cash you have in cds and online savings accounts. If you buy limit this year. and then buy more in subsequent years does this make sense for 3-5 year plan? Whats worse case scenario? Deflation? Then pull out and take the 3 month interest penalty?

    Great video!

    Excellent video Nick; thanks for posting it. Very informative and I'm sure some investors will find these types of securities indicated for their portfolios, possibly 10% to 17% of the portfolio. Very informative. I had no background in TIPS until I listened to your video; thanks again so much.
