Inflation; it's the insidious force that has the power to turn dollars into dust. It's because of inflation that gas and milk leave a painful dent in your wallet. No doubt about it, inflation is a growing concern.

But if you think you've got it bad just be thankful you're not Ben Bernanke. It's his job to tame this nasty beast.

Sounds gloomy, but your friends at Fast Money see a silver lining in this dark cloud. Just because inflation is Bernanke's enemy doesn't mean it has to be yours.

Nope. Forget the Fed, the Saudis or the farmers in Iowa, you can strike back. How? Well, no matter how bad inflation may become there’s always a trade!
