A few notes on this strategy: Margin loans come with risk of margin-calls (when your investments drop in price), so never "max out" your loan limits. Regarding the commodity ETFs like DBC, DBA... unlike normal stocks, commodities are taxed mark-to-market, which means taxes will be due each year regardless of selling. Real-estate ETFs like VNQ will be taxed on their dividend income each year. For that reason, these are best held in tax-optimized accounts like IRAs & 401Ks (nonetheless, certainly you can still hold these in normal accounts as part of a diversification strategy). If you're looking for more tax-optimal funds, you might go with a general stock ETF (like VOO, AAPL, GOOG, etc) or something like GLD, SLV (which are precious metals, taxed as collectibles at a 28% long-term rate). Please do your own research, not financial advice.

Take margin loans against stocks, put into items that sustain against dollar collapse
