Vanguard Inflation Protected Securities (VIPSX)
Why is VIPSX hitting 52-week highs during a stock market correction and potential double dip? Anyone got a logical explanation?

Re: Vanguard Inflation Protected Securities (VIPSX)
Bonds, especially Treasury securities tend to rise during periods of economic uncertainty. And many investors suspect that if we do fall into another recession that this will spur more QE from the FED. TIPS will likely rise in that scenario. People are looking for safety with a yield. And many know that inflation is a real risk down the road.MachineGhost wrote: Why is VIPSX hitting 52-week highs during a stock market correction and potential double dip?

Obviously I am not a fan of TIPS. But to each their own.
