TIPS don't particularly care, which is the point.
They will probably outperform gold in a deflationary environment.
I suggest you do some research about them.

 Instead of T-Bills, consider TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities).
No maturities to roll over.

Keep a ratio chart of cash gold divided by the30
year Treasury.  This will show you the daily struggle of the two forces;
and which one is currently winning battles. Re

his name) not to mistake a conspiracy forwhat
can be ascribed to simple incompetence; and of course there is a lot of
that inherent in bureaucracy. chas

Re: [RT] crude oil at 13 year high
 I just finished a book that describes
what could happen in a full financial meltdown. It's a novel by James Cook
called "Full Faith & Credit". Pretty scary but enlightening reading. In
that vain, could some of you share your strategy for asset protection and
profit should such an unwinding happen.I don't have one yet but am beginning
the planning and would appreciate the thoughts of others. Jim

Re: [RT] crude oil at 13 year high
 This conspiracy stuff has been
discussed on this forum going back to the early bubble years in the mid-90's,
and back then I subscribed to that theory too.  I also believed that
the government was actively involved in propping up the stock market but
after seeing what happened to the markets since the bubble popped I no
longer believe that either. I
think the questionable economic numbers we get are due mostly, if not completely,
to the normal inefficiency and incompetence you get out of any massive
bureaucracy.  Doesn't "CPI excluding food and energy" sound a lot
like "EPS of xx cents excluding one time charges that recur every quarter"? 
How about the headline Labor number we get every month that doesn't include
independent contractors or the self-employed?  But there's a Household
number that does include that number which is rarely mentioned, however
I suspect there are problems with how that number is calculated too. The
other item that argues against any meaningful "cooking of the books" is
that these massive government agencies are comprised of people from both
parties, albeit mostly democrats.  So it's hard to imagine they could
maintain a "cover-up" year after year and through different administrations. 
This would be especially true for a republican administration since the
media would be in an orgasmic frenzy to cover such a story. I
share the longer term negative view on the equity markets being expressed
on this forum, but it's not because of any government conspiracy....it's
because of what has transpired in previous post-bubble periods and the
length of time it took to truly and fully recover from a financial bubble
(15-20 years).
