To Prosper…What Asset Do You Want to Avoid Like Hell during High Inflation
December 6, 2010 - 16:08 — Van Beek
During higher inflation, cash is no longer king. In what will you invest?
Assume 5 years of 5% inflation and 4% interest. The $10,000 in your savings account has grown to $12,167. Nice! But there is a problem. With this $12,167 you can buy only as much as you could buy 5 years earlier with $9,414. You have not become $2,167 richer. You have become $586 poorer.
Inflation is like a tax. It takes away every year a part of your savings and wealth.
S&P 500 Trend Investing Easily Beats Buy & Hold: $49,438 vs. $28,262

S&P 500 Trend Investing easily beats a Buy and Hold approach.
Suppose you invested $10,000 in an S&P 500 index fund in October 1992. You just kept the fund; you just Buy and Hold. 18 Years later, your ten thousand dollars would have become $28,262. Nice, but with only 6 trades in 18 years of this same index fund you could have done much better.
Stock Trend Investing reviews every month for you the trend in the S&P 500 and a number of other US indices like the Dow Jones, the NYSE and the NASDAQ. Based on this analysis, we provide the Trend Investing community monthly with our conclusion on if we buy, hold or sell our US index funds.
