DON'T BUY
Coming out of the pandemic, this was a big theme. Inflation roared and is still staying high. Complicated asset class. Due to the long duration, you're getting hit by the long bond selloff. Down 12-13%. Last year and this year, the short-term TIPS would've done well. You're better off owning XRB -- it's liquid, should do well as inflation remains sticky even though it's come off, and he owns it.
BUY
Not a fan of long bonds today, as rates can push higher. He prefers short-duration or inflation-protected bonds, like the XSTP.
