Treasury Inflation Protected Securities or “TIPS” are inflation index bonds that investors might want to investigate, says Karen Finerman. Or if that’s too complicated there are mutual funds that will do it for you. Check out the VanGuard Inflation Fund (VIPSX) or Pimco’s (PRTNX).

I like grains as an inflation trade, adds Tim Seymour. Think about Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) or Monsanto (MON) as a play on food prices that will likely go up.
