- chii 4y agoBut everyone already knows of this fact - and so the price of those stocks would already reflect the value under an (expected) inflationary environment. The value would only grow _if_ the inflationary environment is worse than expectations, and people sacrifice even more discretionary spending to buy consumer staples. if the inflationary environment isn't as bad as expectations, then these companies would be out-performed by other, higher growth, discretionary goods companies. There's no such thing as a risk free investment.
