just thoughts from Delta Investment Management Using CPI inflation numbers, one dollar in 2000 is now worth 53 cents. Just since COVID, the dollar has lost 20% of its value. If you are holding money in cash because you are worried about potential downside market volatility, inflation is eroding your buying power at a surprisingly fast rate. From January 7, 2000 through August 20, 2025, the S&P 500 has advanced 608% including dividends. What is impressive about this return is that the S&P 500 lost half of its value in the Dot.com Bubble Burst (2000-2002) and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC: 2007-2009). It had another significant drawdown in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
