Investing during inflation

Personally, I invest for growth and my strategy does not change with inflation. But let's explore different ways to protect your investments from inflation.

1. Cash flow

This is important regardless of inflation or not. Increase your cash flow to have more money and invest. Increase your salary, get a higher paying job, gig work, or find a new job.

2. Invest in Gold

Store of value. Goes up when the market goes down.

3. Invest in Bitcoin

Moves based on inflow and outflows of money into the Bitcoin asset

4. Invest in Consumer Staples

Items that people must buy

5. Invest in strong dividend stocks

PEP, VZ, PFE. Stocks that are slow growing but will remain steady paying you.

6. Invest in energy stocks

People still need gas

7. Invest in utility stocks

Government monopolies. People still need water and electric energy

8. Diversify - One position no more than 5% of your portfolio

ETFs, bonds, stocks, real estate, crypto, private equity. There are lots of ways to diversify.

9. NFTs, Artwork, Collectibles - Tangible assets

Rare physical items will always be a store of value. Picasso is not creating any more paintings. Although his estate could create NFTs.

10. Land/Real estate/REITs

The world is not getting any larger, but it is getting more crowded.
