I notice some confusion on other forum about performance during deflation. Most are under the impression bonds protect against deflation.
This is not correct. Bonds thrive in a disinflationary environment.
If we have deflation...real deflation...then debtors lack pricing power and can't pay back loans in a currency that's getting ever stronger. BONDS DEFAULT IN DEFLATION.
