...decide to dip into TIPS, you'll find more choices than ever. Even though the $200 billion TIPS market represents a small fraction of all government debt, TIPS have come a long way since their low-key 1997 rollout. The Treasury is on track this year to issue about $60 billion worth of TIPS, double last year's issuance, as part of an effort to diversify liability and attract new investors.

So why does all the world want a piece of this skinny kid from Brixton by way of Birmingham? His homegrown sound expands beyond garage, but most riveting are his lyrics...
PUMP UP CASH Instead of holding 5% to 10% in a money-market fund, hold 10% to 15%. The cushion will trim returns in normal times, but soften any declines and give you means to buy on a terrorism-related dip. The Dow rebounded 4% after the Madrid sell-off.
