If you want to shield yourself then buy gold and/or silver - the only true money.

As governments continue to print their fiat currencies and allow more QE then you will see that only gold and silver are true money.

For example:

In 1970.
Gold approximately $25 an ounce.
One pasty costs 7 cents.
You could buy 357 pasties with an ounce of gold.

2016
Gold approximately $1800 an ounce
One pasty costs $5
You can still buy 360 pasties with an ounce of gold but ONLY 5 pasties with that $25.

Gold and silver - real money - maintains your spending power.
