Episode notes

LTPZ and TLT are both long term bonds. The only differences come across in periods where inflation is either more or less than what the market expected. Neither one of them looks like an inflation hedge, that's the fact! LTPZ has a positive correlation with the stock market;TLT has a negative correlation to the stock market.

In this episode we answer a series of emails from Drew and one from Ms. Annie Mouse. We discuss the fund BLNDX, managed futures and how to analyze new and composite funds and then rant about TIPs misconceptions and uses for your delight and amusement.

And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.
