After Coronavirus is over!

[Ron Fletcher]

With the trillions of dollars the government will have to spend to fight the economic fallout from coronavirus, is this scenario on anyone’s radar? If the world is so flooded with newly issued debt, when this is all over, will inflation take off? I was a kid in the 1970 era when inflation was high. I believe real estate did well as a hedge. If so, I feel if we as investors keep a level head and stay positive, we will be rewarded long term. Thoughts?

(Disclaimer: There are already enough coronavirus posts about what if my rent checks don’t show up April 1st. Please comment on just this question).

Hi @Ron Fletcher, I've been wondering the same thing myself, and have founds J Scott's comments on the topic on the BP blog and podcasts to be quite helpful for thinking about it.  If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out the recent round table podcast episode (with J & Scott Trench as guests).. among other things, they discuss the inflation / hedge question quite a bit.
