Many people believe that gold is an investment product that can ward off inflation. The history has proven that gold would be hired if there is a panic that could endanger the nation’s economy, such as high inflation, financial crisis, or war.

Inflation is rising prices of goods and services in general. Inflation could undermine your money. If the assumption of inflation is 15 percent per year, the price of goods & services that are now worth 5 million, will be 10.06 million, or twice in the next 6th year, and 15.3 million or three times in the next 9th year, and so on.

According to severity, there are three types of inflation:
1. Moderate inflation, when inflation rate was just under two digits per year (below 10 percent)
2. Malignant inflation, when inflation rate is in two digits per year (10 percent – 99 percent)
3. Hyper inflation, when inflation rate is in three digits per year (100 percent or more)

If you are not decision makers in government, you probably can not go down the inflation rate. All you can do as individuals, is how you can take advantage of the occurrence of inflation. How do I? I suggest you invest on instruments that will increase rapidly in the event of high inflation. What is it? The Gold.
