that would actually be great, the volatility and speculation only helps a narrow group of dedicated traders. as long as stock market saves you from inflation, you should be happy with your investment
- fny 4y agoYou do realize that the stock market will not save you from inflation if it remains flat for a decade?

- Victerius 4y agoPeople need to stop trying to find the best portfolio to keep up with inflation. It's futile. Just be happy if your portfolio appreciates 3% in a year, like our forefathers were.
- seibelj 4y agoProperty is great because the government subsidizes fixed rate 30 year mortgages - you beat inflation on the backs of tax payers. I own a lot of property!
- davidkuennen 4y agoBut it kind of does, since you don't own cash but a portion of a company. As long as that company does well for the next 10 years and doesn't go to shit the "value" stays the same. 10 shares of Company X are still worth 10 shares of Company X in the future in that case. But the monetary value of those shares will most likely change based on inflation.
- jrochkind1 4y agoWell, that was my question, if "kind of flat" means keeping up with inflation at least, or not. Although my understanding of the standard model of how privatized "saving for retirement" via investment funds works, is that you better have returns at more than inflation, especially in the early part of your career, if you want to be able to retire.
