I believe the deflationary monster is going to hit a lot sooner than 3 years. If so, then the investments you mentioned for the short term aren't going to perform well.
Deflation is an enemy of big government but under normal circumstances a friend to savers and wage earners.

… I hate big, Arbitrary government.
I don’t believe deflation is a possibility. Some people look at metrics that are no longer relevant, like velocity of money, and are convinced deflation is coming. Then I remind them we are in new territory with direct government payments to the voters with money from thin air, bypassing the banks altogether. The voting public is officially hooked on these payouts, and will punish those that don’t offer them in the future.
