10 Best Inflation Hedges: Stocks, Cryptos, Government Bonds and Fractional Investing in Rare Items
Serial entrepreneur Andrew Wilkinson, who is the co-founder of Tiny Capital which owns over 40 companies including Dribble and AeroPress, asked his 190,000 Twitter followers for the best inflation hedges an investor can buy now.
"It could be stocks, options, bonds, whatever," Wilkinson said in a Sept. 22 tweet.
Economic Context: Many factors are contributing to the slowdown in the global economy. An energy crisis in Europe is hurting citizens' finances and reducing industrial production.
The effects of COVID regulations and the housing market crash are being felt in China.
In order to slow the surge in inflation caused by a restoration of consumption activity and excess savings after the confinement, the central banks of the United States and the around the world are aggressively tightening monetary policy.

The ability of monetary authorities to perform a soft landing, i.e. reduce demand enough to bring inflation down from near 40-year highs without plunging the economy in a severe or prolonged recession — is increasingly in question.
That said, Wilkinson's tweet received comments from followers who shared their opinions on the best ways to hedge against inflation. We have compiled the top 10.

I like publicly traded trucking companies: TFI International Inc TFII, etc.
These are the ones with record years since COVID. Transportation costs are the main source of consumer price inflation.
3. Chris Katje @chriskatje said,
Vintage baseball rookie cards like the Hank Aaron Rookie Card on Rally which had [its] IPO yesterday. Split investment for victory.

Debt collection agencies or the services on which they depend.

Activision Blizzard, Inc. ATVI: Microsoft Corporation MSFT Acquisition Arbitration. 25% discount on redemption price, expected to close by June 2023
