What should we do in inflation time?

Question

I like to do some prepair when inflation time, how should we protect our house, money ,gold, stock and mutual fund(401K and IRA),home mortgage,real easte investment and small buesniess,also what do we need to do when ending inflation time?

Answer 1

Return on investment = rate of return - taxes - inflation
Protect ur house with insurance, including disability policies. Gold has done pretty well during high inflation periods in the past. Stock and mutual fund depends on your time horizon for investment, home mortgage should refinance for a fixed rate, real estate depends on the region where the investment is, small business will raise ur prices, and when your crystal ball determines the end of high inflation rates, buy all those things you have been saving for, pay off the house, sell the stock, buy bonds, but dont lower your prices in ur business.

Answer 2

We have inflation constantly. The cash you hold onto is constantly decreasing in value with time. Investments, such as stocks, bonds, CD's, etc, with those interest rates, are used to make up for lost value due to inflation. As long as you invest your money, inflation should have little affect on your assets. hope this helps!

Answer 3

drive less, figure out what you don't really need and stop buying non-essentials, use less energy in your houe, take care of your home, keep your job, pay off your credit cards, ease your investments into a balanced portfolio, reduce amount of any stock invested in technology (go with the basics) and have a larger percentage of bonds. I personally think precious metals are dangerous,

Answer 4

1. Buy some gold bullion or bullion gold coins.
2. Buy gold stocks Like Anglo American Gold.
3. Hedge against the dollar by buying Euros or Swiss Franks.

Answer 5
