Is this a good time to do so or is there still risk of deflation out there. I feel that have min growth from here and moving some over to this might be a good idea, but I wanted to know what were others thoughts on this with more experience?

    You should have a balanced portfolio of Stocks, bonds, cash all depending on your age, time horizon and risk tolerance.

    don’t put all your investments into one type of thing.

    An "inflation-protected Mutual Fund" really serves no purpose other than to make an extra buck for the schmuck selling it…what good is an investment that only tries to "keep up"?

    You saying "I feel that stocks have min growth from here" suggests you shouldn’t even OWN stocks because you evidently do not understand what they are or what they do…stocks have grown at an average of 7% a year (10-12% including dividends) for over two centuries…the ONLY way for that to change is for humans to stop inventing stuff, stop wanting stuff, and stop trying new things….it ain’t gonna happen!

    Stop listening to AM radio and start thinking for yourself!

    If you are worried about inflation, as I am, then the best place for your money is in precious metals, gold and silver, and commodities, like oil and natural gas. Here are my favorite stocks to protect yourself against inflation: Hecla, symbol HL, and Silvercorp, SVM – both are profitable silver miners with excellent management. SVM pays a dividend.
