Any good inflation beating investment ideas?
>>Answer is in the article quoted in the post immediately before yours. Quality stocks, bonds, and managed lumber.
Guy here in Baltimore raised my co-workers rent from $1800 to $2200 because "interest rates increased". The co-worker moved 1 block over to a better place. His old place has been vacant for 5 months now!
Note to moron investor: no one cares that your interest rate resets/ option arm is starting to amortize/ rent doesn't cover mortgage. Also, $1800 > $0.
Michael Anderson!
Long time, no see! How are you? Hope things are well in "Oregon's Carmel"! Managed lumber? You and I gotta talk. Do you still have my e-mail/number? What about these guys trading the fake lumber like Trex (TM) etc? Ben Jones (more expert than I) tracks the building materials pretty closely. Are you a "Random Lengths" subscriber?
We've been "up" 19 of the last 21 trading sessions (as I'm sure you're aware) and the money keeps coming in! Trust me, I'm open. :)
Have I ever been more open about *not* knowing what comes next?
Salk,
You mean that "ownacondo.com" in Right Field (and at times over A.J's right shoulder) isn't working?
Anybody else gettin' the CHISOX on the west coast?
I tried WGN on Charter Cable and all they usually have is Da' Cubs. What's up?
No disrespect to Cubs fans.
DinOR,
Yeah, been busy. How the heck are you people? I do still have your number. My investments are still on track. I'm not set up as a pro, yet. Just my own money so far. :-)
I'm Subcranium over on the SDCIA board. I post there now and then.
I'll probably post here now and then, too. Mostly just lurk all over the place in various financial blogs.

Committee Member: Are you now, or have you ever been, a renter?
Joe: Sir, that is not a fair question.
Committee Member: That is a simple, fair question.
Joe: Yes. I rent.
Committee Member: America has offered innovative financing products for you to become a homeowner, a true American. Why did you refuse those opportunities?
Joe: It is because housing prices are detached from the fundamentals.
Committee Member: I see that you are an un-American fundamentalist. Why do you hate homeowners? Do you also hate motherhood and apple pie? Why do you reject Freedom?
Joe: I do not hate homeowners. I do not hate America. I embrace Freedom. Have you no sense of decency, sir?

Is renting inherently un-American? Do renters hate Freedom?
For entertainment only.
