This is the biggest question of all right now. Inflation is going to come in here and wreck shit. I think being about 100% invested in stocks/gold/real estate is the best one can do. Besides borrow big.
You are trying to behave like a perma-bull, but I do not believe you. You do not have the cahones yet to be one. Prove it.
I've been in EEM for over a year. Hasn't gone anywhere, but I think the upside is greater than the downside.
Keeping your money in short-term bonds is a good strategy to maintain your capital or savings account. Because, if rising inflation leads to higher interest rates, short-term investments are more resilient whereas long-term investments will likely suffer major losses. For this reason, it’s best to stick with short- to intermediate-term investments and avoid anything long-term focused.
Who said I was a perma-bull? Quite the opposite. But if I WAS a perma-bull, I would not be listening to anything remotely similar to what you posted, more something like this, pretty much describing you and I both at this point if you get the meaning haha....
Yes Paul. that makes total sense. The only problem is that doing what you said still hurts you. If inflation is at 7.5%, and short/intermediate term bonds are paying interest to the tune of 2%, you are still losing 5.5% a year...
I did but the property a couple of years ago, I put a chunk of cash in a single company that I believe will continue to grow for the next 5 years, I have a chunk of money in an all stocks mutual fund that I hope will return 8% this year (it's been avg 25+% a year over 10 years) and I have about 10% remaining in crypto and stock related. And I'm almost 60.
Price caps would be a stupid move. Why do that and create a boomerang if you can just hand out money to the poor since debt interest rates in real terms are negative. Or tax credits, or....
