"Why it’s Time to Be Paranoid About Inflation Risk" "The flaming embers of inflation have already landed atop the thatched roof of American finance.
For those readers who do not feel like wading through the preceding metaphors in order to get the point, here’s the skinny: Many nations around the globe - in particular, the US – are intentionally debasing their currencies. Therefore, deflation seems like a bad bet, investment-wise. It may be a decent short-term trade, but inflation seems like the better long-term “investment.” Since a powerful new inflationary trend is very likely to occur, the prudent investor should probably take steps to guard against it. “But wait a second!” some readers be saying. “What if a powerful deflationary trend occurs first?” Good question. It might. But we’d begin preparing for inflation anyway. Why not prepare for the near-certain arrival of inflation, rather than the uncertain timing of it. To this market observer, inflation seems like a near-certainty. Not an absolute certainty, mind, you, just a near-certainty, sometime within the next three years. So why not beat the rush to buy inflation insurance? Hostile inflationary forces may be amassing their forces at the borders of our economy at this very moment. In short, we think it’s a good time to risk being paranoid about the threat of inflation." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CITYLIFE PROPERTY COMMENT: For our readers, who want to research more into this topic, and to find out what strategies they can adopt in the event inflation does also hit Australia, we have prepared a Special Website report on this topic.
