Strategies for US inflation

[jeff1234]

Is there any way that it makes sense to bring liquid assets from the US to Arg to acquire hard assets here until US inflation is resolved?

So you want to try to avoid 5% inflation by dealing with 54% inflation and political uncertainty? and then deal with trying to repatriate funds from Arg back to the US?

Probably not any better than just buying bricks in the US.

Bricks in the US are at an all time high. Real estate has been in a strong bubble for awhile. Same for stocks.

While I haven't studied the subject my impression is that hard assets here somehow seem to keep up with inflation.

The political situation and repatriation are concerns.

Why not acquire hard assets in USA? Are they cheaper in Argentina? What specific hard assets are you referring to?

Buy large cap US dividend stocks.

Who knows, but you generally would not be buying the dip at this stage:

I find this slightly amusing, as I know a few Argentines with some money, and they put it into US assets- Real Estate in Miami, or in a bank account in the USA if possible, or, at the very least, in physical US hundred dollar bills. The US, regardless of its relatively small pandemic inflation bump, is still, globally, the universally sought place to keep assets safe- Billions of dollars are invested in real estate, businesses, stock, Treasuries, and even just CDs paying a pretty low rate of interest by Russians, Chinese, Saudis, South Americans of all nationalities, Norwegian retirement funds, even narco trafficantes.
IF, and its an if with a lot of qualifiers, you really wanted to park money long term in Argentina, most argentines and, for that matter, me, would and have put it into real estate. Because good apartments or houses in Buenos Aires will, most believe, trend up in the long run. I have a couple of friends who bought cheap during the pandemic, knowledgable, local friends who are experienced at rehab and construction.
I cant imagine, though, that your assets, whatever they may be, would probably be more liquid, and more protected against inflation, in some nice safe, boring, US investment. An index fund, for example.

Is there any hard asset in Arg which price goes up in US dollars?
