hedging against hyperinflation

I am convinced of a U.S. hyperinflation in the next few years. It's simple logic - the Fed has printed as never before, the chickens must roost... we may even see an American Argentina.

How to protect oneself? Gold is the obvious - stocks or bullion? And, what about the scenario of a gubmit grab of all gold- a 'temporary emergency measure', of course, for the national good... to punish those eeeeevil speculators? This is not paranoia; you think the Obamarxists are incapable of such a move? They might even confiscate, er I mean 'freeze' safe deposit boxes... for the public good,...

What to do?

More fool you.

Thats a pig ignorant lie. It printed a hell of a lot more in real terms during WW2 and the great depression and we didnt see hyperinflation when it did.

Not a chance, just like there is no chance of a dictatorship either.

Bullion is safer, a gold miner can f*ck up rather spectacularly.

Just another pathetic little neurotic fantasy.

Corse it is.

Yep, they aint that stupid.

Hide the bullion under the bed and hope you dont get robbed.

Move into a more stable currency, In particular, if you hold sterling move into Zimbabwean dollars.

FYI, the US govt outlawed ownership of gold metal by private citizens from 1933 to 1974.
