What is considered an inflation hedge these days? TIPS are explicit with principal protection...commodities/stocks/real estate have no floor!
I have about 10% of porfolio in TIPS - in a Roth IRA. Would have more, but still a young/unproven asset class.

TIPS and I-bonds are explicit hedges; anything else is a good way to start an argument! I think most people would include gold, though there are all sorts of problems with investing in it.
