Stock and commodities markets are a casino as you basically admitted and not a true inflation hedge which is what my post was about.. You can get buried as everyone did in everything tied to oil or gold from 1980 onward as the cycle turned and we entered moderating inflation.. Property you never go wrong with as an inflation hedge (even disinflation like the 80's or 90's) just holding if bought cheap at cycle low points as we are in now in 2008-09. The last 4-5 years were just a credit juiced mania for the ages and I'm thrilled it is over..Unfortunately J6P can't benefit like he did in the 1970's from what is upon us since his credit is shot and he might need to be a long term renter unless he puts his creative thinking cap on..
