Right now the bond portion of my portfolio consists entirely of long-term U.S. treasury bonds. I view my bond investments primarily as a hedge against a market downturn. My question is: How worried should I be about excessive inflation in the near future? Should I consider selling some of my long-term treasury bonds and purchasing TIPS bonds? Why did TIPS funds drop in price during the 2008 recession?
