I believe that the inflationary monetary policy being pursued in the United States and many other parts of the world are a tool to continue the trajectory of turning financial markets into speculative casinos, characterized by greater volatility and shorter frequency trading. But I also believe the biggest beneficiaries of this event will be stocks that yield dividends as well as gold mining stocks.
In a world in which monetary policy is suppressing bond rates so that debt currently yields negative returns, equities generating profits and dividends, with capable management and sufficient market capitalization, are amongst the most appealing opportunities -- outside of precious metals, that is. Barrick Gold (ABX) and Newmont Mining (NEM) hit on all cylinders: they both have market caps greater than 32 billion, are gold miners, and just announced dividend increases.
