Investing in stocks during times of inflation can be a daunting task, but it is not impossible to make smart investment decisions during such economic conditions. Inflation can erode the value of your money over time, so finding stocks that can hedge against inflation is crucial for long-term investment success.
As we head into 2021, experts are predicting an uptick in inflation due to the massive stimulus measures and the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is essential for investors to look for stocks that have the potential to outperform during times of inflation. Here are some top stocks to consider buying now to hedge against inflation in 2021:
1. Consumer Staples Companies: Companies that produce essential consumer goods, such as food, household products, and personal care items, tend to perform well during inflationary periods. These companies have pricing power and can pass on increased costs to consumers. Some top consumer staples stocks to consider include Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and Walmart.
2. Energy Companies: Energy stocks can be a good hedge against inflation as the demand for energy generally remains strong even during economic downturns. With the global push for renewable energy, companies like NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy are attractive investment options for the long term.
3. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs): Real estate can be a good hedge against inflation as property values and rental income tend to rise along with inflation. REITs offer exposure to various real estate sectors and can provide a steady stream of income for investors. Some top REITs to consider include AvalonBay Communities, Simon Property Group, and Prologis.
4. Gold and Precious Metals Companies: Gold and other precious metals are traditional hedges against inflation. Investing in gold mining companies like Newmont Corporation and Barrick Gold can provide exposure to the commodity while also offering the potential for growth and income.
5. Infrastructure and Utility Companies: Companies involved in infrastructure development and utilities can be good investments during inflation. These companies tend to have stable cash flows and pricing power, making them resilient in inflationary environments. Some top infrastructure and utility stocks to consider include American Tower Corporation, NextEra Energy, and Dominion Energy.
It is important to note that while these stocks can hedge against inflation, there are still risks associated with investing in the stock market. Investors should conduct thorough research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
In conclusion, investing in stocks during inflation requires a strategic approach and careful consideration of various factors. By choosing stocks from sectors that are less impacted by inflation and have the potential to outperform during such economic conditions, investors can position themselves for long-term success. It is important to stay informed about market developments and adjust investment strategies accordingly to navigate through inflationary periods.

Holding FNV and BTO, only 20 and 600 shares respectively. I’ve also started picking up a few shares of K9 Gold Corp when they dip below $0.40, they found a massive gold deposit on their property in Central Newfoundland close to my hometown and they have a fairly strong buy rating now with one analyst stating that it might be one of the best wealth building opportunities of the decade (for the tsx). Perhaps one of the most mineral rich deposits in North America right in Newfoundland’s “Gold Belt”. I’m also considering Kinross, like BTO, they are trading at an extremely low price to earnings ratio (right around the 6-7 mark). Do you guys have any thoughts on KNC (K9) and K (Kinross).
Watched and liked, thanks. Own Kirkland and Barrick, but primarily CGXF because every time I buy gold stocks they go down. I'd rather own the covered call ETF and generate decent cash flow when things are sideways or downtrending.
i hate gold and crypto, no patience for the boom,
Not Gold, but how do you all feel about Freehold? And, Boston Pizza Royalties?

Holding BTO and FNV for a while now, BTO lagging but a nice dividend and tons of cash in the bank.
Analysis much appreciated. Any info on the aisc at Abx? Bto does indeed look attractive at current prices …, will certainly be keeping an eye on these.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
