[Happy Girl]

The gold thread has been covered on this site extensively so aside from that debatable option what other options in ireland are available to protect savings in the event of hyperinflation?

Inflation linked government bonds seem a viable option but it is possible that you may be exposed to currency risk and the government may miscalculate/underestimate the inflation rate.

what kind of return is available with inflation linked government bonds if theres no inflation ? any info available ? what about inflation linked government bonds from other Eurozone countries like Germany for example ?

"The National Inflation Association is an organization that is dedicated to preparing Americans for hyperinflation.

With an $11 trillion national debt and $55 trillion in unfunded obligations for programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, it is our belief that the United States for all intents and purposes is bankrupt and Americans need to take steps immediately to protect themselves from the potential loss of the purchasing power of their U.S. Dollars.

The U.S.'s recently passed $787 billion stimulus plan brings the potential outlays from the Federal Reserve and U.S. government agencies during the financial crisis up to $10 trillion.

It is our belief that the rest of the world is unlikely to lend the U.S. this money and the Federal Reserve will most likely have to print the money out of thin air.

The U.S. has abused its status of having the world's reserve currency for far too long. We are on an unavoidable path towards hyperinflation."
