RE:INFLATIONFrom a post I made on Agtalk:
"I had a post on here recently about JUST this topic.
Borrowing money to finance these forays is the best thing you can do. Then you can pay back the loan with inflated $$
It works for the gov't....it will work for you.
"I don't know the answer to your question.... but I am trying to hold the EXACT OPPOSITE of what can be easily re-created.
IF you think about how simple is to create new $$, they just fire up the printing press... Today its digital, so it's even easier.
That's why housing and land has gone up so much---- it can't easily be re-created. People don't understand the WHY of why real estate is a good inflation hedge...it just IS. But I think this is WHY...
There is a lag time in housing, as once there is enough material mined/produced... they can build more....
But things like GOOD FARMLAND, OIL... they're not making anymore of. When it's gone... it's gone.
WHICH is why I have ALL OUR WEALTH in GOOD FARMLAND, OIL COMPANIES AND COPPER COMPANIES.
