Inverse ETFs are shorts, let's be real for a second :). And I'm well familiar with risk parity.

Bonds+stocks only doesn't protect you from stagflation (inflation up, growth down) or a depression (inflation around zero, growth down).

Bonds+stocks+gold only doesn't protect you from a depression.

Both a depression and a stagflation can easily last for over 5 years, so it should be taken seriously, IMHO.

You're wrong. Bonds protect against depression and index-linked bonds protect against stagflation.
