Stock #7: Monsanto (NYSE: MON)Not only is Bill Gates the second richest man in the world, but he’s also one of the smartest. So if this legendary billionaire suddenly pours $28 million into a company’s shares, you’d be wise to follow his lead. And that’s exactly what he just did with [Monsanto]. This dominant leader offers cutting edge products in a defensive and growing industry… and it’s perfectly positioned to not only thrive in times of inflation, but also have solid growth prospects even without it. 

Note: Besides the fact that Bill Gates just bought 500,000 shares of this stock, we also like it based on the following aritlces…

Stock #8: Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW)It’s no wonder S&P recently downgraded our country’s credit rating… in 2011, the United States will run the largest deficit in history: $1.5 trillion, according to the experts at JPMorgan Chase. How is the government going to pay all that debt? Inflation. And lots of it. The first two stimulus programs didn’t work so don’t be surprised if the Federal Reserve launches a THIRD round of quantitative easing.  If that happens, you’ll want your cash in prime inflation hedges like [Silver Wheaton].Note: We chose this stock based on the following articles…

Stock #9: Coca-Cola Inc. (NYSE: KO)One of the best ways to profit from a weak U.S. dollar is to own shares of companies that do a huge chunk of business in fast-growing foreign countries. That said, now is a perfect time to buy [Coca-Cola]. You get a cash dividend, exploding emerging-market growth, and exposure to appreciating foreign currencies… all of which spell outsized profits if the dollar gets cheaper.
