The question is, what is the best place to store money that will
insulate it against rising inflation,
uncertainty?
I look at all the choices and conclude that if I add a mere 3% fuel
and food inflation to shadowstats 9% real inflation number I am
losing 12%+ per year in purchasing power if I stay in cash. I don't
dare buy bonds or real estate because the global debt bubble
is still deflating. China could go bust any day and money is
flowing out of the BRIC emerging markets so I'm not going to
buy commodities. I can't buy grain using an ETF like DBA that keeps
buying/rolling into higher futures prices. Stocks offer no value so
that won't work.....which leaves gold.
