Equities worked just fine in the 50s and 60s. The lesson from that last experience was obviously to better control the Fed Funds rate to keep inflation in check so it's doubtful we'd see anything like the 70s again.

As far as bonds, short maturity bonds are probably the better bet.

Keep it simple, stay the course.
