15 Long-Lived Stocks That Are Still Doing Great During Inflation

Inflation has hit the U.S. economy at a level unseen in four decades. Rising prices eat away at the value of your cash and your investments, and the stock market itself has had the worst first half of a year in a half-century as recession fears mount.

The Fed's response, of course, is to raise interest rates, and the cost of borrowing has soared as well, while the interest paid by CDs and insured bank and credit union accounts has not substantially followed suit.

So, what to do? Consider going old school. There are multiple stocks to buy from companies that have been there, done that, through multiple economic cycles.

Here are 15 to consider, each of them at least 100 years old. They're also all in the green so far this year at a time when the major indexes have been bleeding deep red.
