Here's a novel idea. When considering tangible investments why not consider the first and foremost collectible - one that hasn't been made since it's first creation and first production run: land. Once you've got a nice place, consider it's multiple utilities as hedges against any kind of financial downturn:

1. Grow food.
2. Build shelter - often with materials at hand.
3. Heat.
4. Animal protein - domestic and wild.
5. Capital production capabilities - sell your produce or...
6. Strategic protection - rural property has a built-in free fire zone.

On top of that, peripheral investments are low in price manipulation. These include:

1. Low-scale ag implements - tillers, shovels, etc.
2. Raw processing equipment - shellers, grinders, etc.
3. Food processing equipment - pressure canners, dehydrators, etc.
4. Utilities - PV panels, woodstoves, handpumps, generators, etc.
5. Material and supplies - spare parts, hardware, etc.
6. Infrastructure - greenhouse, barn, etc.

Well, Sir, there you go. A genuine inflation proof series of investments to be gotten today at low, low prices and certain in rise in value commensurate to the financial storms outside your hedge fund. As a bonus, as a purchaser, you'll be the fund manager and the usual percentage fee will go right back to you. This is no ordinary “win-win” fund or recommendation. This is a end-of-the-line ‘win-win-win-win-and-continue-to-win-no-matter-ho-bad-it-gets’ kind of fund.

Dump the beanie babies and get thee to a homestead - today!
