How are you protecting yourself against inflation?

Good question, I've gotten a good offer for a warehouse I've owned forever. I would like to sell but what do I do with the cash?

inflate those bitches

I just did some crunches

Where are you based Sansa?

Really depends where your investments are. If in the US there already is a hit on real estate and will prob last a few years. Same with the UK - it has started, but probably show more next year in a downturn.

Elsewhere, it's not really a problem. That is a scenario if you are in the US, there are excellent opportunities in other markets and where the expected further reduction in the value of the dollar can be a great advantage if you are eg - investing in the Canadian or Euro markets.

Example... you gain from the investment itself and also protecting your dollar investment from depreciation - it's a win win and can be a serious money difference. Further example - an investment of eg US$100,000 in the Canadian market during the last five years would now be US$160,000 but, after adding on the dollar reduction, that becomes $220,000 in real terms - and those figures are net after deducting respective inflation rates - so, not bad.

There are all kinds of possibilities and vary depending on country - some are excellent at the moment with a good revenue earning level - not just keeping up with inflation.

I invest in fine art.

Spend it?

I just fart alot... so I deflate fast

I am in the US. For a good reason I am weary about investing in the US markets and actively researching all possible alternative venues. When I was a kid I lived through a ridiculous inflation. It really didn't affect me directly (since I was a kid) but I would hate to go through something nearly as fucked up as that myself, now that I am an adult.
