As a Atkore employee earning a good wage, remember when everyday products were much cheaper than they are now?

As a Atkore employee interested in investing, it is important to consider how investors have a wide range of tools at their disposal to protect their portfolios from inflation. Some prefer inflation-protected bonds, while others swear by commodities such as gold as effective inflation hedges. Investing in stocks has historically been one of the best ways to offset, or even outpace, inflation's degenerative effects on one's savings. For Atkore employees, it is important to account for this information when planning your finances as to create a portfolio that minimizes volatility and accounts for inflation.
