Although I have a diversified portfolio, social security and a pension, I see my total investments plunging. Where can I invest for financial security? I “thought” I had a good long term plan.

    TIPS is a good idea for any portfolio, especially for a retired person. Your guarantee to match inflation.

    If you still have a large stock portfolio, it might be good to sell some calls (aka covered calls) to generate some monthly profit.

    as a retired person with a diversified portfolio you have at least 55% of your assets in bonds, maybe 35% in equities and 10% in cash..

    TIPS are ok for a portion of your bond portfolio.
