"Have investors thought through the implications?"

I have definitely weighed the near certainty of the corrupt Trump admin lying
about the inflation rate. I pulled the trigger on 1 10 year TIP recently, but doubt
that I'll be purchasing a 5 year TIP later this month when they go to auction.

My cloudy crystal ball says rates are going to go as close to ZIRP as Trump's crony's
can force them to. Fixed income investors gonna get hosed, just like in the not too
distant past of 0.25%-1% rates "offered" savers after the GFC. But Wall St luv luv luvs
ZIRP, so equities might be a better bet. But I've invested long enough to see the rug
get pulled out from equities, so no way I'll be 100% all in on stocks anymore. But
the fixed income portion will suck, no doubt.
