The inflation question was asked at the Madison event earlier this year. Dave Walker said that entitlements are indexed to inflation so it wouldn’t do any good.
I know - that is the rock/hard place problem and why the FED lies about the true rate of inflation. BUT - The FED can NOT control anything but very short term interest rates. Medium and long term rates are set by the market and I think that is going to change and go much higher.
I have been looking into RTPIX, RRPIX, PST and TBT as a way to invest to what I think is going to happen...
