Guide to Investment for Rising Inflation

Warren Buffett emphasizes the importance of personal earning power in retaining purchasing power, suggesting that top professionals like brain surgeons or lawyers can safeguard their income against inflation.
However, in the business world, it's more challenging. Buffett and Charlie Munger believe the key is to invest in strong businesses that can set prices in an inflationary environment without requiring significant capital investment.
Buffett cites See's Candy as a model business that can withstand inflationary pressures and maintain its value, irrespective of currency fluctuations. Unfortunately, many businesses struggle during inflationary periods. Even if their earnings increase, they often need to reinvest significantly just to maintain their position. The most problematic businesses are those that continually require more investment without offering increased returns.
For investors, inflation is a significant adversary as it erodes real returns. To combat this, some countries, including the U.S., offer inflation-protected bonds, like TIPS, that adjust income or principal based on inflation rates. Yet, the majority might face meager real returns after accounting for inflation and taxes.
A personal strategy to combat inflation's impact is to avoid creating unnecessary consumer needs, providing a degree of protection against inflation's broader economic effects.
