Your best bet would be to pick 5-15 uncorrelated assets and spread you investment over those assets and just wait. This would simply be to reduce risk.
Your response seems to imply you don’t know what they are because they’re explicitly linked to inflation with a factor linked to CPI.
So if inflation goes up 7.5% in a year then your principal invested in a TIPS bond goes up 7.5% even before you get the “nothing” coupon payment.
Edit: TIPS and other treasury bonds are distinctly different.
TIPS are overpriced because of fixed income fund mandates, moron. I worked in bond sales. You don't have to be such a prick, you know.
That's kind of backward: intro micro and intro macro are the areas of economics most tied to abstract assumptions which are neither grounded in nor consistent with empirical observation (excluding, of course, both work addressing things like hypothetical optimizations and work in overtly ideological rather than empirical approaches to economics, like that of the Austrian school, but neither of those even aspire to describing status quo reality.)
