My favorite inflation hedged instrument is a Stainless Ruger Mini 14.

…and ammo.

…lots of ammo.

At the present time and the present state of the financial system those “inflation hedged instruments” that are on paper are probably not very safe. In a “full on” collapse (read that as TEOTWAWKI), they’re worthless. Maybe after the smoke clears, but, maybe not. I’d prefer going very heaving on silver and gold bullion. No collectors value. Just a block of metal. That way there is no loss in fluctuating “collector’s” value. Blocks of raw metal. Even copper might be something to look into. But, either way, if you can’t hold it in your hands it might not be worth anything when its all said and done. Scary…
