What are you going to do about inflation?

This is the biggest question of all right now. Inflation is going to come in here and wreck shit. I think being about 100% invested in stocks/gold/real estate is the best one can do. Besides borrow big.

You are trying to behave like a perma-bull, but I do not believe you. You do not have the cahones yet to be one.

Prove it.

 
Keeping your money in short-term bonds is a good strategy to maintain your capital or savings account. Because, if rising inflation leads to higher interest rates, short-term investments are more resilient whereas long-term investments will likely suffer major losses. For this reason, it’s best to stick with short- to intermediate-term investments and avoid anything long-term focused.

Who said I was a perma-bull? Quite the opposite. But if I WAS a perma-bull, I would not be listening to anything remotely similar to what you posted, more something like this, pretty much describing you and I both at this point if you get the meaning haha.... :)

Yes Paul. that makes total sense. The only problem is that doing what you said still hurts you. If inflation is at 7.5%, and short/intermediate term bonds are paying interest to the tune of 2%, you are still losing 5.5% a year...
 
I did but the property a couple of years ago, I put a chunk of cash in a single company that I believe will continue to grow for the next 5 years, I have a chunk of money in an all stocks mutual fund that I hope will return 8% this year (it's been avg 25+% a year over 10 years) and I have about 10% remaining in crypto and stock related. And I'm almost 60.
 
Price caps would be a stupid move. Why do that and create a boomerang if you can just hand out money to the poor since debt interest rates in real terms are negative. Or tax credits, or....
