Long On TIPS

An instrument often disregarded because of it's lack of volatility , but, a great way to diversify and secure a portfolio, especially if not fully invested. TIPS (iShares Inflation-Protected Securities) is getting battered due to a high-dollar and positive sentiment over the economy, but, it remains a safe-haven for money and a hedge against inflation . Current price levels are below the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year moving average and right at a support level ; this is a very low risk trade with a steady pay-out and upward potential.
