<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billincolo, post: 788788, member: 17389&quot;]I agree completely. I thought people here would be the ones who would best understand this concept, but as Cloudsweeper noted just above, maybe not. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, if gold lags behind an inflation curve, and even more so behind a h-inflation spike, what commodities might be better to buy? I&#039;ve heard it suggested that those who can&#039;t buy gold, but can still buy food, buy two of everything since food will closely reflect an inflationary curve. So buying a can of chili &amp; beans today will save us the cost increase a year down the road; buying a case of c&amp;b might be even smarter. The value of the food is in its nutritional value: We don&#039;t have to sell it to somebody before realizing and using it for its value. We can just use it and thereby save the money inflation would cost us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is that too far afield? I know it&#039;s &quot;small money&quot; versus &quot;big money and investing,&quot; but it&#039;s what some people can afford ...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
