what is the best hedge against inflation? Tips or gold or silver? Tips is actually not a bad instrument as I checked it out further and it gets adjusted for headline inflation, not core inflation. BUT tips as we know is a hedge against usa inflation, not global inflation such as gold. There is neg real rates in usa , china and japan. The 3 largest gdp. That’s good enough for me to think that gold rallies until rates go up meaningfully. Precisely! Then W gets off track, talks about REITs, which I don't fully understand but which I avoid because.....I don't fully understand. My instinct, however, is to avoid them as they appear full of hidden complexities designed to fleece the small fry.
