Maybe we should all store lumber and get WallStreetBets to corner the futures market for us. <G> Side story on lumber (real story): In the Texas freeze people were so desperate for fuel they were going to Home Depot to buy studs to cut up for firewood. Well, maybe everyone already knew that one. Expensive firewood, but probably cheaper than electricity at times. LOL

Housing booms not all and only about inflation... depend on sustaining economic growth more than inflation ? Oil is thing to own when inflation comes... because it outperforms everything else... Solid gold/silver/PGE producers with divvies a solid choice... as also PM royalty stocks bought cheap and held Otherwise, industrial / tech stocks do not keep up with inflation, versus the myth... Stagflation... worse yet... as business slumps and prices rise... but oil keeps going up... as long as the demand is sufficient to sustain it... and producers pinch the pipes to slow the flow just so... gold keeps going up as long as the inflation risks are more real that risks in rising rates... Cycles tend to be years in the making... and then (ideally) years in the unwinding... or you get hyperinflation risks being realized... and rates rising too fast to sustain economic momentum... ie, the Carter Presidency and double digit inflation... the Reagan Presidency and double digit interest rates.... and what oil and gold did in that period ? Stocks otherwise... are for 1983 to now... as inflation stays low... but... now is almost behind us... ?
