I agree a good topic. But what about the premise ? As we swing into recession are we not also likely to experience deflationary pressures ? Property prices are declining. Rents may be declining. Fewer jobs = less consumption = less money chasing goods = disinflaiton or deflationary pressure.

Hyper inflation will mainly cause a rise in prices of commodities that are in limited supply and have high demand. Food,energy, and health care are current commodities that qualify. Housing is neither in short supply or high demand. Housing has already had its inflation and is partially responsible for the inflation of everything else.

Buying a home to protect agaist inflation isn’t a good idea right now. Gold would be a much better choice as it is considered an alternate currency that can’t be printed, only mined.

Most people assume we will either experience inflation or deflation. And without getting into an economic debate about the definitions of each, it seems like the common usage of these terms is based on viewing the economy in the aggregate. That’s not what it looks like to me.

FWIW, I believe we are headed into a biflationary period. Biflation is when the prices of commodities (think energy and food) increase, while the prices of useless crap decrease. So Joe Average spends more of his check just gettin’ by.

If this is the case, it seems like a strategy geared towards commodities would be more appropriate.

I’m just Joe Average Dude, so I may be missing a HUGE piece of the puzzle here. If so, I’d appreciate hearing different views. Being anonymous, I’m more concerned with “getting it right” than with “being right.”

Great thread topic, BTW.
