With the current increase in the rate of inflation
Post# of 29735
I have a few plays with this in mind.
These are longer term plays to combat the inflation risk.
1) GLTR - All That Glitters ETF which invests in Gold, Silver, Platinum & Palladium. This gives you broad exposure to the metals. It's top holdings are as follows:
- Gold (SGOL) 54%
- Silver (SIVR) 24.6%
- Palladium (PALL) 12.99%
- Platinum (PPLT) 4.65%
Gold charts long term look for a big reversal
Silver is a nice play as we already have a shortage of coins in the country and that could be the spark to ignite a big rise in the PPS
Palladium and Platinum are really a nice hedge in case they see an increase as well. Currently trading at $94.78
XOM - Exxon Mobil looking back at this giants history you will find it has always fared well in the face of inflation. I couple that with the fact that oil prices will continue to rise under the current administration and the potential for a skirmish between nations, the potential of war, the play makes a lot of sense. Of course the fact is you will receive dividend and its underpriced by anywhere from $25-$50 a share imo. Currently trading at $61.65
