I have hold TIPS (fund) in my early early retirement comment for past year as great as they have finished great (compared to batch funds) though not long ago have decreased in value.
Any thoughts upon either TIPS (fund) will be the great investment for subsequent integrate years? I am impending early early retirement as great as am seeking for steady, protected investments. Would I do improved transferring this income to Bond Fund or Money Market Fund?
Thanks

If you are nearing retirement you should consider transferring your wealth into safer investments. It’s not about gaining equity as much as protecting what you have now.
If you can’t spare 8 years to let these investments ride, you should get out of stocks and bonds.
Regarding Inflation Indexed Bonds (assuming they follow inflation), they will go up dramatically after Obama gets elected. If McCain stays in, I’m not sure, it depends on what happens with the Global economy.
In the long run, they will probably do well. Right now we are in a period of deflation which will probably not last too long. I heard that TIPs were selling at a discount to their value even after adjusting for deflation.
