Why do prices increase over time? One of those reasons is due to inflation. With the Consumer Price Index for the July report showing an increase of 5.4% over the last 12 months, investors have to identify asset's that stay ahead of inflation. 

Inflation is also an expansion of the money supply and the Fed has printed trillions of dollars in 2021 alone, as an investor you have to find strategic ways to increase your purchasing power. Saving money in dollars is no longer a strategy, the fiat currency will only devalue the more money they print. 

Kevin details why value stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and real estate should be in an investor portfolio during an high inflationary environment and why these assets provide a store of value.
