I've been expecting hyper inflation for years now. The difficulty for me has been determining when it's about to start in order to seriously trade my fiat for useful items. Most of us have noticed that prices have really increased quickly in the last few months (not even considering gas). For instance, I thought I should stock up on some printer toner just in case. The Staples price for one package of four colours was $158 + tax (Canadian). I'm interested to hear if anyone else has begun to 'release' more of their fiat in anticipation of hyper inflation. I'm specifically referring to items other than basic prepping.
