Gold investors are often labeled as doomsayers. In the past few years, gold was frequently recommended by investment gurus whom feared rampant inflation. Their predictions did not become reality, weakening the reputation of holding gold as an investment. Is that justified? Is gold really only a good investment when we are faced with an imminent economic collapse?

We will come to understand that the two most popular definitions of inflation are inadequate, leading to incorrect forecasts.

By definition, we cannot forecast inflation with certainty. Yet, every investor must have a decent understanding of inflation (and deflation); either to protect his or her capital adequately, or in order to make a deliberate speculative investment.
