Raymond Saleeby, Saleeby & Associates
Fragrance and Flavor Businesses Remain Strong in Inflationary Times
“The…best business that I found in the last five years — it’s a phenomenal business — is the flavor and fragrance business. It’s termed different names in different areas. But it’s a great business. The same companies have been around, for the most part, the last 100 years, and the barriers to entry are enormous.”

We have built proprietary research tools to quickly assess company fundamentals no matter what global exchange they are listed on.”

“Companies that have a lot of hard fixed assets will actually see better equity appreciation in an inflationary environment than companies that, for instance, may be in software or cloud computing, where you don’t have the same type of hard assets benefiting from inflation. They’re not as sensitive to property, plant, equipment, land…”

Martin H. Bergin, DUNN Capital Management
Commodities Strategy Does Well in Inflationary Times
“…Once you start seeing the velocity of money pick up, inflation is going to take off. And you’re starting to see it now because you see wage rate gains in the employment sector. So this will start driving what they call wage inflation spirals. And, of course, wage increases always fall behind the inflation in the marketplace. So inflation is like a tax on everybody. It hits everybody equally.”
