What would be the best way to benefit from this (other than shorting stocks)?
Am I correct in thinking that all the stocks will be hit? (impact differing only in magnitude, not in direction).
Are you guys doing anything about this, like buy Euros etc?
- mynameishere 19y agoOf course, big money is only to be made in volatile markets. In a stable, efficient market, people buy value stocks and make money from the dividends. So, you might think that "Well, I predict bad times, so I should short the market..." But that's not the case in inflationary times: http://www.mises.org/story/2532 http://www.mises.org/story/2532 The best strategy seems to be: 1) Go where the money will flow, and go where the future is young. This means Asia for the most part. Europe is almost as effed up as the United States, but with smaller defense expenditures. 2) Guard against inflation. You can do this by buying other currencies, gold, or by buying futures on margin, etc.
