Buying real assets was a pretty bad strategy in 2006.

When inflation looms real estate and gold are the two best things to own.

“ Buying real assets was a pretty bad strategy in 2006.”

True, though that (and other) years are more of an exception than a rule. There are many years in the past where buying real assets was an excellent strategy. Doing so prior to a time of increased inflation and locking in loans prior to increasing interest rates can be a very successful strategy.

The question for today is whether or not you’ve missed the boat.
