      Inflation, if figured by 1980 standards, will be 15% this year. There can be no Volkman approach, because the economy wouldn't even generate a dead cat bounce if interest rates were raised enough to tamp down the inflation.

      I darn sure would stay out of the bond market, and a lot of NASDAQ-type growth stocks. And I'm not going the cryptocurrency route.

      Blue chips, gold, real estate, at least for me.

        gold

        Gold confuses me. It's supposed to be your classic inflation hedge. I was going to buy some earlier this year - but didn't because I couldn't see a pattern.

        It's actually down from where it was in Dec/Jan.

            I was pumping apple here three years ago when it was trading at $37 (split adjusted), now it's $178.

                It's perennial advice to stay away from tech stocks, but it's also historically bad advice, but for the tech bubble where unprofitable companies did what any unprofitable company always does, go bankrupt.

                  Heh... S&P 500 just closed at an all-time high.

                    So did juggernaut AAPL! AAPL has around 5x gains since 12/10/2018. S&P has around 2x gains. So much for how hard it is to beat the market... if one chooses a solid stock, accepts risk, and concentrates ones money.

                      Never owned any apple products. Never liked their closed architecture policy.

                      But I did own AAPL some time ago. Paid for my pool with the profits. The grandkids LOVE it. It was worth it to me.
