Q: Hi 5i,
Suppose the US moves into more significant inflation and begins to battle the strength of its own dollar. So rates ‘normalize’ but inflation goes ‘above target.’ I am thinking about how to adjust one’s portfolio for that environment. I guess gold and real return bonds (and TIPS) may be obvious inclusions but I am wondering about equities in general and what kind of equities, if any, can actually do well in an ‘above target’ inflation environment. How would you increase/decrease sector weightings? Could you identify a stock or two in some specific sectors that you think would be good to own in that picture? Is this topic something you’d consider blogging about at some point? Thanks!
