Short-term corporates suit elderly in low-tax states
The author argues that for investors aged 87 and 92, a large portion of holdings should be in short-term bonds with a 2-3 year average duration. If state income taxes are low or zero, a short-term corporate bond fund like VCSH makes sense, and the author cites a yield of roughly 4.9%. The main risk implied is that short-term bonds offer limited growth and yields can change.

Hot inflation hedge: dollar, credit, value
If January or February inflation or labor data show inflation moving from 4.40% toward 4.20%/4.10%, or if inflation prints are hotter, long-end yields could rise too far or too fast, creating a 2022-like environment where all asset classes suffer; in that scenario the only hedges are long dollar, short-dated credit, and value over growth.
