00:00 Intro
01:34 Consumer Price Index
We discuss how inflation is measured and look at historical inflation. Recently inflation has been low, but there have been years with over 15% inflation!

02:26 Risk of Unexpected Inflation
The primary risk from inflation comes from unexpected inflation. I summarize a Vanguard research paper that evaluates how various asset classes protect against inflation. I then share which type of investor I think is most affected, and why it could make sense to seek inflation protection. I discuss why I think short term TIPS are one of the best options for the investor seeking inflation protection.

06:48 TIPS vs I Bonds
I walk through the details of TIPS and I Bonds. These are both bonds sold by the US Treasury that are intended to protect investors against inflation.
