What Is the Best Investment if Hyper-Inflation Happened?
There is a lot of financial uncertainty in the world today. Countries are overwhelmed by debt and are attempting to get out of debt with more debt. Not all Americans are experiencing tough financial times. Many of us are financially prudent and have savings for that rainy day.
If the US dollare were to lose its value to hyper inflation, what type of investment would we most want? If our current investments were to lose there value, what investments would be worthwhile?
Stocks – Stocks represent ownership in something, if that business remained vibrant, they could maintain or increase in value. It’s possible that stock ownership could maintain its value through the hard times. Chances are, the businesses whose stock we own would also struggle during an economic collapse.
Bank Savings/CD’s – The paltry interest rates being offered for savings in banks, money market accounts, and CD’s is almost worthless right now. It actually losses money when you take into account inflation. The truth is that in our banking system today, money isn’t even tangible. It’s mereley a system of electronic numbers. If the dollar and economy collapsed, our current savings would do almost nothing for us, we might not even be able to get the money out of the bank.
Gold – Gold has been a coveted and valuable commodity since the beginning of man.. It has always had value. Many economic blogs and videos are recommending Gold as solid investment. Over the last decade, gold has held its value better than the stock market. Gold has recently increased in value, and may not see value rises for much longer. Gold’s advantage is that it is physical, and can be in our possesession, locked up in our own homes. But, if an economic collapse happened there would be very little demand for jewelery.
Real Estate – Real Estate might be the best investment hyper-inflation happened . Hyper-inflation rewards debt, and punishes savings. If hyper-inflation happened, it might be very easy to pay off existing real estate mortgages, thus giving you a free and clear asset. In addition, shelter is a basic need, and will always be important. After the economy stabilizes again, owning investment properties will offer a way to earn residual income..
Food – The most secure investment in the event of an economic collapse is with food storage. Having food and water will always be an essential part of life. Food storage will not only help sustain your family, but would also be a valuable trading commodity in the event of economic collapse.
It’s possible that our nation will find a way to avoid economic collapse and hyper inflation, but just to be safe, now is the time to get prepared with cheap freeze dried food storage.
