In fact this current follout is quite unprecedented in relatively modern history.
anyone have good ideas for an inflation hedge investment?

As was I. But my bond funds - except for my Treasury bond funds - have been hammered. I exited all my corporate bond funds last week. So look for corporate bond funds to bounce back.
That’s the way things usually work. The market has a personal vendetta against me.
Keep an eye on S&P 2080-2100 - thats where all the gains from election day 2016 will be erased.
Where’s the bottom? Dow $15000??
Soros. Now that is a face only an Algorithim could love.
Nobody is selling physical. The crooks know how to rob it when everything is paper gold, like anything else on paper.
Good movie...
I figured 8800 at a 70% correction. Like Bitcoin did.

Some mutual fund companies offer inflation-protected bond funds. Take a look at the Vanguard and Fidelity offerings. In theory, those funds should do well in times of high inflation.
But these days, up is down and left is right. So who the hell knows?
I may risk a smaller purchase tomorrow, for possible TEOTWAWKI use and/or heirlooms.

I’m considering a 50% buy at S&P 2000, then all-in at S&P 1500.
I heard the ‘derivative’ market is 5 times more leveraged than the 2008 crash. We haven’t heard about that little time bomb - yet.
The Vanguard MM “Settlement Fund” isn’t even safe/normal any more. (The “low-risk” “stash the cash” fund where Vanguard puts your money after you transfer it to them). The Fed is intervening to prevent a “bust the $1. event”:

“That’s the way things usually work. The market has a personal vendetta against me.”
LOL ! that’s true of everyone.
I go by the Bible: no-one knows the future; & whatever was will be again, there is nothing new under the Sun.
That’s the paradox: we don’t know the future, but it will be made up from things from the past. We just don’t know which ones.
My diversification strategy is cast your bread on may waters etc. etc
So I keep holding assets even though I think they are going to tank - eg stocks.
If its Great Depression 2, corp bonds will mostly survive. If it’s Weimar, the stock and gold will still be worth something. If by God’s mercy we get out of this, all those assets will still be worth something.
“anyone have good ideas for an inflation hedge investment?”
Inflation of what??
Japan has been printing money up the wazoo for decades and they have hardly any inflation. The only thing that is going to inflate back up are the prices of stocks.
If you want have lots of money a year or two from now, start buying some long calls on the QQQ and SPY everytime this thing goes down and you’ll be rich.
That’s the beauty of this situation - you don’t have to be a brilliant stock picker - just buy the market, or just about any sector.
Once we start getting some good news on the flu, the markets will shoot up like a rocket.
gold and stocks
