• The Federal Reserve is tightening credit to combat inflation and will keep doing so until it causes a recession.
• Buying Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities at the right moment can result if the investor gaining both from the adjustment in principal from prior inflation and higher bond prices.
• When the time comes SCHP is a better choice because of its very low expense ratio of 0.05% vs 0.19% for TIP.
• The 1920 recession, caused by the WWI spike in inflation and the flu pandemic, may have some things in common with the present situation.
