Welcome to the Inflation wiki! Keep inflation in mind as you invest. Certain kinds of stocks can help you fight it effectively.

[Inflation](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/globe-advisor/advisor-funds/article-investors-seeking-inflation-hedge-snap-up-us-farmland/) has gotten worse in recent years: in June 2021, the CPI exceeded +5%. Initially thought to be transitory, inflation continued to rise, reaching +8.3% CPI in April of this year. 

Inflation isn't a theoretical risk. Inflation has averaged around 3% annually over many years, and over 25 years, that's enough to cut the purchasing power of your retirement dollars in half.
