Inflation Coming

Post by portart »

If you believe that inflation is coming soon, what ETF, outside of the metals,  do you think would benefit the most?

Hard assets tend to do well during inflation, like oil (OIL, DBO), real estate (VNQ, VNQI), agriculture (DBA, MOO), and commodities (DBC, USCI).  Stocks also tend to do reasonably well during inflation (VT, VTI).  TIPS are supposed to react positively to inflation (TIP, SCHP), but I guess we'll find out soon enough.  :-\
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
