Doom prophecies aside, I do think that some deflation protection in the form of US 10 year bonds (or longer, if you have the stomach for it) may be a wise idea.

Doom prophecies aside, I do think that some deflation protection in the form of US 10 year bonds (or longer, if you have the stomach for it) may be a wise idea. The 10 year yield hasn't been this high since before 2008, offering a decent upside should we get back to the low rate regime. Although of course if this is a 1960s or even 1970s replay then these bonds will cheapen to single digit cents on the dollar.
