The Best Stocks to Buy to  Fight Inflation

We are concerned about inflation because it causes higher input costs for companies. In turn, greater expenses put downward pressure on margins making companies less profitable.

It’s probably not possible to entirely inflation-proof your stock portfolio. However, you can fight inflation with a more diversified portfolio.
