If you're worried about inflation rearing its ugly head next year, you should probably worry about more likely catastrophes, such as being eaten by bees. Looking out a bit further — say, 2013 — inflation may become a worry. But not before then. Still, it's good to be prepared, and if you think soaring prices may smack your portfolio, build one devoted to whipping inflation eventually.
Dividend-paying stocks. Most companies would welcome a chance to raise prices. When they can, dividend-paying companies will be able to increase their dividends. One good place to look for dividend-paying stocks is Standard & Poor's Dividend Aristocrats. These companies have raised their dividends every year for at least 25 years. High-quality dividend-paying stocks are the usual hunting grounds for equity-income funds.
