    It's now about 5 months and we get more and more stagflation alert in media reports and plus, both inflation and recession risk are higher...

  4. Why use toilet paper when we have the US Dollar? Sure, it's not as soft, but it's cheaper!

    Anything that has a higher appreciation rate than inflation rate.

    Since we're talking stagflation and that means a recession also, i guess stock market wouldn't be a good choice but maybe foreign equities. Commodities and precious metals probably will be the best investing opportunities.

  7. Yes, please do. Buying at the top (or close to it) is a wonderful way to redistribute your wealth.
