The US Dollar was âAs good as Goldâ, when backed by Gold. It is no longer backed by anything. Our current âFiat Currencyâ system is, an âOut of The Moneyâ derivative with no intrinsic value. Other countries, have backed their currency with the US Dollar, creating the largest bubble in history. No Fiat Currency has ever lasted, when the bubble bursts, and it will, economies world wide will collapse. Invest in intrinsic value, own it all (Not a share, stock, bonds, ETF), have possession (Not a third party holding company, bank, etc.), avoid converting it back to Fiat Currency. Experience, is what's left when the money is gone. Avoid that experience. Carl
the way they measure it-you wont see any inflation any time soon. people spend more and more on food,gas and healthcare. climate is shitty, so will be crops. tornadoes,hurricanes,flld -all over the country->more money to house repair. the list is endless. inflation occur when too much money chasing to little goods. i don't see a shortage of PC's,tablets or flat tv's(their favored items for inflation measurements)
Stay mostly in government bonds and cash. I would tend to stay on the shorter duration side with the intention of snatching up assets at bargain prices after the fall. Durring a deflationary depression, the money is made by buying stocks, RE, gold, etc on the cheap.
