At 74, I want a bit of income, but something that will resist the coming inflationary recession.. I've made some maneuvers, but those are just protective - I don't wanna lose what I got. Unexpectedly, a stock I had reached a high so I sold a third of it.
One suggestion I've heard while waiting to see what happens with the economy in the short to medium term is to buy short duration TIPs. These will provide inflation protection on top of a small return. I have build treasury ladders before when the market is over heated which allows me the option to roll them when they mature or switch back into equities if the market has corrected. I like the flexibility given the uncertainty, but you do risk missing out on a continued bull market.
