CK, Just some clarification. There definitely are ways to make money out of inflationary periods. Look at Warren Buffett during the 70's and 80's- sure he struggled but after the crash, stocks will be ridiculously cheap. As for during the inflation, well the stock market is currently booming. Everyone's making money and everyone's a genius. As for the S&P 500, I think its safe in the long-run. Sure, indexing is popular right now but it's like housing. The value of the top 500 companies in the USA is going to be more in 50 years than it is now. That's a given. It's foolish to invest in an index fund to make a "quick buck" anyway- your retirement is safe in there. In my opinion, it would be quite foolish to wait for the inflation to end (which could be years away) before investing any money. Be precautious, but remember there are opportunities out there- it's also why you should do your research before buying a stock. If you've done your research and have found a good price, then why should you worry? Best, Harsh
