FORT LEE, N.J., April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Inflation Association
today released the following statement to its http://inflation.us members:

It is our belief that Americans need to take steps immediately to prepare
themselves for hyperinflation in the United States.

As an American who is concerned about hyperinflation, your number one goal
should be to rid yourself of U.S. Dollars, bonds, treasuries, and other
dollar-denominated assets. As the Federal Reserve prints trillions of dollars
to fund U.S. bailouts, stimulus's and other government spending, these assets
will lose their purchasing power.

We believe there will soon be a rush out of the U.S. Dollar and into real
things. Because many Americans are afraid to buy stocks and Real Estate after
the recent collapses in the stock and housing markets, it is our belief that
precious metals will become the new hot asset class to invest in.

Gold and Silver have been accepted as real money for thousands of years and
could replace the U.S. Dollar as the ultimate safe haven for Americans to
store their money.

Gold and Silver are very liquid and tradable. With a high value to weight
ratio, they are easily transportable. They are durable and can be divisible
into small units without destroying their value. They are also easy to weigh,
measure and count. Most importantly, their supplies are very scarce and they
can't be printed out of thin air like paper money.

For those who don't wish to hold all of their money in physical Gold and
Silver, there are several Gold and Silver ETF's available to purchase with any
brokerage account. For risk tolerant investors who want to become wealthy
during the next decade, we believe you should research Gold and Silver mining
companies. We profile Gold and Silver mining companies on a weekly basis that
we believe could prosper in an inflationary environment.

During a period of rapid inflation, we will likely see prices of food,
clothing, and other necessities go through the roof. To battle rising prices,
there is a possibility that the government could implement price controls
which could lead to shortages and empty shelves at retailers.

To prepare for this event, we believe you should stock up on canned foods,
bottled water, medicine, toothpaste, first aid products, clothing, and any
other necessities you will need in the years ahead. Worst case scenario, if
you don't use an item, you will most likely be able to barter it for something
else.

To further prepare for food shortages, you should look into the possibility of
planting a garden or better yet, starting a farm. There is a lack of farmers
in our country and we believe Agriculture will be the second hot industry of
the next decade, behind Gold and Silver mining. We also profile Agriculture
companies on our stock suggestions page that we believe could prosper in an
inflationary environment.

It is important to look for ways to reduce your living costs as much as
possible in the areas of housing, transportation and entertainment, while
looking for ways to increase your income. Use your extra savings to purchase
Gold and Silver while developing an inventory of necessities.

If you have any debt, try to refinance the debt into smaller monthly payments
over a longer period of time. The good thing about hyperinflation, your debts
could effectively get wiped out if you have the opportunity to repay them with
depreciated dollars. On the flip side, don't loan money to anybody.

Although Real Estate prices could rise nominally during a period of high
inflation, Real Estate is likely to continue losing value when priced in Gold
and Silver. If you must own Real Estate, it is a good idea to get as large of
a mortgage as possible for the reason we just discussed.

It is also important to take steps immediately to increase your security. As
hyperinflation starts to spiral out of control, there is a chance we could see
civil unrest and riots in major cities. If you live in a highly populated
area, consider moving to a safer community in a more rural area.
