Posted by Thomas on April 13, 2007, 8:34 am am trying to understand the concept of a stock index versus a fund that invests into an index tied to interest rates specifically to vanguard funds but the general concept, as I understand it is that if a small investor (retiree) assumes inflation pressure exists, they will move from stock indexed funds into a bond fund (?) or another fund like moneymarket (?) which would be considered "interest bearing fund" ?
