I agree on the price of oil - but a rising oil price is not inflation anyway - inflation is a rise in the average price of all goods.

I presume your argument also applies to metals used industrially - e.g. copper, zinc, uranium. My plan has been to put my savings in energy and metal stocks. Of course, the big concern is that when markets plunge they take everything with them. I can see real estate, stocks and the USD all going down. Does this make sense? Since these markets are valued in $, clearly a decline in the $ will soften the fall of other markets. I guess the question is which assets will fall the most. (I'm not touching on gold, which I understand even less than everything else.)
