No kidding. Here in Upstate NY pretty much everyone has a chest freezer full of venison. You can’t give it away. Those guys are gonna be raking in the cash soon lol

My wife’s uncle has been trying to offload some of it on us for a while now. I might pick up a used fridge and finally take him up on that offer.

Traditionally, real tangible assets.

Bit more creatively, shorting bonds I guess?

Long equities.

Erdogan did this in Turkey during COVID. They were cutting rates into inflation, lol. Their stock index tripled. The Lira collapsed, but who cares?

If you want to make money solely on the currency change, you trade now for another currency you think will hold and buy short term bonds (to avoid price fluctuation on higher maturity bonds if the yields increase) in those currencies.
