investing commodities
Sanjay K


I am from India. Here in india inflation is very high. The real inflation is about 15% per annum. If compounded almost every five years the prices of almost everything doubles. Yes, 100% total inflation every five years once. I want a good suggestion / idea to beat the inflation other than the known sources like investment in FDs stocks, bonds, commodites, realestate, antiques, arts which is generally adopted by everybody. I am looking for a novel idea or solution relally works because the above mentioned most of the items are almost( note : almost) speculative in nature. Please do not argue or discuss these above mentioned items. I am lookig for some other good idea in investment to beat the horriable inflation the real killer. Help will be of great use in this idea.

    I would focus on bonds, commodites, realestate.

    Another key is a foreign currency, put alot of your rupees or whatever the heck they are into Euros. Then your cash will keep its buying power.

    But you pretty much have it figured out, but i dont think art or antiques are a good idea.

    You guys are ROARING out of the third world and you have many more years of horrific inflation since your cost of living/standard of living is rising.

    As soon as this rises enough the ability of your economy to **** up global jobs will stop(wont be cost effective anymore). Your infaltion will then normalize like the rest of the 1st world counties. And then China/Africa will start ******* up your jobs. Then you guy will get to know how it feels

    :-) – I say this jokingly, without hostility

    In the short run in stinks, in the long run it is good.
