Pending Hyper-Inflation (good read)

[Dave Kennedy]

We have all talked about it on here since last year. I know many of us expect it with our countries balance sheet so out of wack, the fed would rather see a massive inflationary period because they can deal with it better then massive deflation. It looks like we are starting to make the turn this spring with commodities beginning to come off their bottoms.

Anyhow...I thought this was a great read...some of it above my understanding but it makes a bunch of great points.

I found this to be interesting. As if the fed and Obama are hoping to just push this problem down the road with inflation and give the general public a false impression that this disaster is over. Its already been done once, in 2000-2001 we had the tech crash/ 9/11 and things began to unravel. The government propped the economy with cheap/easy to get money and allowed everyone to buy a home and leverage up 40:1. It saved us from a collapse but pushed the problem out to 2008. Here we are again with the govt stepping in by flooding the banks with money to make them whole. It might prop us up for for a few years but no matter what the big crash is inveitble. The only way to actually recover is let it go through the system. You have to let things fail at some point.

How do you play this as an investor? You don't want to hold cash in the bank because if his prediction of inflation is right any cash will be cut in half by 2019. Do you lock into hard assets like RE now and hopefully ride that wave of inflation? If you lock in a low interests now you would prosper in the next 10 years...correct? Obviously Gold/Silver..etc will be a hot choice as well.
