Hh come on, its not like its your fault that I'm ignorant. I really appreciate the help and maybe some day when I have more knowledge and experience this is something that I can look into more and add to my portfolio.

well, there are 3 things you can do. and i don't think you're ignorant.

1) ask your financial advisor to hedge your int'l equity exposure (a long ass post ont his i think is towards the front of this thread)

2) add CCFs (collateralized commodity funds) in a small amount to your portfolio. this should be relatively easy and cost a minimal amount (they are funds that take a "100% allocation" and invest some amount in US treasuries and the rest in a commodity futures exposure. the UStreasury investment brings down the overall volatility of that investment, while still preserving the diversification benefits of commodities)

3) get leveraged global TIPS in your portfolio.
