May 5, 2021 Legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway CEO/chairman Warren Buffett sees “substantial inflation” on the horizon, boosting the case for assets like the Gold, commodities, and Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) are just a few ways to hedge against the rising tide of inflation. An ETF like VTIP can help investors hedge in this manner without having to purchase individual hedging components. “We are seeing very substantial inflation,” Buffett said at the conglomerate’s annual shareholder meeting this past weekend. “It’s very interesting. We are raising prices. People are raising prices to us and it’s being accepted.” “We’ve got nine homebuilders in addition to our manufacture housing and operation, which is the largest in the country. So we really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs, you know, just every day they’re going up,” the legendary investor added.
