Storable water and food. Worth is worthless as supply lines are shut down and no one can use it any more than you can. You need things that are useable that the public has to have. A trade for food is the best. We’re going back in history when a doctor’s visit got the doc a chicken. And store items, when they could be found, were bought with fresh eggs and grown corn.

The nice thing about Real Estate as a hedge against inflation is that it lowers the real cost of a mortgage.
If it is rental property the rents will creep up but the mortgage payment remains a constant expense.
Actually locking in my bond this week while it’s at 7.12%. Not bad compared to blue chip MFs sitting at -5 to -8% right now for YTD return... Ugh.
Booze, boats and broads!
Do like the democrats other peoples money it’s endless.
Prepper food. I starting stockpiling food years ago.
Precious metals: steel, brass, copper and lead.
Those are things you should rent (even booze is only rented for a short time).
If you’re earning 7% and inflation is 8.5% you have a guaranteed loss of 1.5% a year...
The next rate is estimated to be 9.6% in May. So, if you buy before April 27, you’re guaranteed 7.12 for six months and 9.6 for the next 6 months. Now’s the time to buy if you haven’t already.
The stock market is -5% YTD. So, it’s not perfect,but it’s a benchmark.
I guess you could bury it in the back yard.
Better hold on to your butt.
Junk bond funds....
If it flies, floats or... Yeah, you’re right.
