Investment Ideas for an Inflationary Environment

John L.

Based on your recommendations sounds like you are preparing for increases in the general price level (remember, inlfation is an increase in the money supply which causes increases in prices in general). If rising prices are your forecast I agree. Eventually, some of the new money being created will find its way into circulation "buying things." The Fed's and the Treasury's goal is to reinflate the economy so we should all be prepared for a depreciating dollar in the near future.

RE: AlexR's comment:

Alex, of course the Fed smells inflation as they create it by printing money. That is the definition of inflation an increase in the money supply "creating money out of thin air." Inflation is ALWAYS a monetary phenomenon. How can the legitimately Fed fight inflation when they create it?
