Trading inflation

[BlueWaterSailor]

I've been doing pretty well recently trading the downside, but I'm curious: other than, say, buying I-series bonds, how would you go long inflation? I'm particularly interested in any options-based approaches.

Buy credits?...but generally cash is king

long inflation? you mean inflation will persist or go higher? If so, then sell bonds and credit and get out of cash. buy treasury or stir puts

Thanks, I hadn't heard of STIRs before. Always something to learn in this business...
