Is the 60/40 portfolio dead?

The experts we track have effectively rebuilt it: the '40' is the problem (long-bond conviction: 28/100 — bonds no longer hedge inflationary shocks, they ARE the taxed asset). The distilled replacement: real assets and bills take much of the bond sleeve's job (hard assets 90/100). Same diversification goal, different tools.
