What would be some good investments if inflation continues to be a factor in the market?
Is there any group of stocks that only exell in Inflation or would cyclical stocks be a good Idea.

A lot of people have touted gold as a good thing to buy when there's considerable inflation to worry about. However, the easiest way to buy gold is to buy the GLD ETF, which directly tracks the price of gold. It is extremely liquid, meaning you can buy and sell whenever you want to, unlike buying actual gold bars, where if you wanted to sell them you'd have to physically take them to a dealer or something. You also don't take on the risk as you would of buying stock in a gold company. There are lots of things specific to a company that can go wrong - a mine gets flooded, workers go on strike, etc. that can take a stock down, and those don't have anything to do with the price of gold.

Inflation = GLD.

Stocks wont do well with inflation. Hard assets are what you should invest in as a hedge against inflation.

Some Good investments in an increasing inflation rate is gold/ silver, I highly suggest CMC, CCJ, GG( and my speculative GMO which in my opinion could hit $50 in 4 years ) those are all good, check out the symbols.., when people get scared they always find a way to counteract the economy when the inflation rises people get scared , when they get scared they turn to gold( and silver).

Gold is what you want and ABX is clearly my top choice of the major gold companies. I'd focus on majors because because mining by nature entails many more risks than most appreciate (geology, technical, geopolitical, etc.). Few gold stocks are ever cheap (ABX actually is) and finding a name that can increase reserves, grow production significantly and increase profitability would be ideal but theres few companies that ever play out that way. Mining is a capital intensive business so critical mass is a key factor of success. I'd suggest a focus on low risk, value and leverage to higher gold prices. I think you can get that in ABX. I also suggest taking less company risk so you reduce the chance that you get torpedoed in spite of gold rallying significantly - worst thing that could happen is you get the inflation/dollar/market/rates --> gold good call right and you miss the move because you hold a pos company. Most gold stocks would probably run higher if the commodity ran to new highs but risk side of the equation is very different; many will get crushed if gold wentthe other way. I think NEM and GG would also do well if they could be bought a little lower. I happen to think that gold is on its way to $900. I sharp dollar rally, which is most probable would take the group a bit lower, but I dont think much lower. I think ABX has the least downside.

For your own personal keepsake. Something you can actually feel and touch: NOTHING beats Gold. REAL 24K Gold.

If you don't have the where-with-all [the finances] to buy the real ingots/bars, learn to properly trade gold options.

Thanks for asking! I enjoyed answering your Q!

VTY,
Ron Berue
Yes, that is my real last name!

Gold and commodities are generally the preferred investments in an inflationary environment. Growth stocks, like technology, do better than value stocks. Consumer staples and health care supposedly do better, because people can't defer buying food and health care. These, however, are generalizations. The thing is, there are recurring patterns but history never repeats exactly the same way twice.

Picking stocks is almost never a good idea. Contribute to good mutual funds with proven track records and let the professional fund manager pick which stocks to buy.
