<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 789554, member: 3011&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; I share what I know.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t easy to protect against either.&nbsp; When Germany had their hyperinflation, even things like stocks and real estate lost 80-90% of their inflation-adjusted value and did not recover for a very long time.</p><p><br /></p><p>The classic ways to protect against deflation are to be debt free and invested in secure bonds and cash equivalents.&nbsp; But if the deflation gets severe enough for a national default like Iceland, then even government bond and cash holdings become suspect.&nbsp; Anybody with significant financial assets to protect probably needs to have some of them overseas and denominated in other currencies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Watch what is happening in Iceland.&nbsp; Although it doesn&#039;t make the news, whatever works for people there to protect their assets is probably worth considering here.&nbsp; Someone should write a book about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
