I'd do 33:33:34 bonds:gold:stocks.

Gold is a bit of an asset on its own in terms of it having both retail and business demand and the demand being international.
Stocks have better growth generally too than a lot of other assets.
Bonds offer a FIXED return normally so by buying both bonds and cash you're increasing your level of risk quite dramatically imo. If inflation hits 8% and you have a 10 year bond paying 4% a year, you'll be annoyed you did that - especially if it lasts 5+ years and monatory policy can change under extreme circumstances...
