In today's lousy interest rate environment, what is a saver to do?
When scraping together pennies over a long time to pay for some future large expense, I like the idea of investing in some sector that is at least remotely similar. For instance, my (meager) real estate savings goes into a REIT fund which hopefully will keep pace with any property I might like to buy in the future.
What about capital for trucks and equipment? That stuff is all going up fast too and I'd like my money to try to keep pace with it somehow. Unfortunately you can't easily buy shares of trucks and equipment like you can shares of a REIT.
What you can buy is broad industrials, materials, energy, industrial metals, etc. I wonder if one or all of those would be a "good enough" approximation?
I am strongly averse to debt so financing does not really get me excited. If it could even be procured for the old junk I tend to buy.
Or other ideas?
