Financial Advice

Sorry if people find this boring, but here's a few notes on investing and the economy.

There's always an inflation spike after a war (Wealth and Democracy, p36), due the excess gov't spending (and were making the record books on this one). How to protect against inflation? An inflation protected mutual fund, like this one by Vanguard. Bonds and gold traditionally do well in times of inflation and a slow economy.

If you don't really understand any of this, don't go out and bet the farm on this fund. Start studying.

A financial advisor I like:
Paul B. Farrell
