True and not true. At times, it is much easier to convert cash into investments than the other way around. And the other factor is "Where will the deflation in financial assets take everything else?". CD

To bet on cash only is "nuts" as is putting a lot of money into a spec stock. Unless you are a gambler, preservation of capital can only happen via diversification. Got the bucks? Buy a farm which will sustain you in terms of food. Worst case scenario. Got the bucks? Hold tangible PM's. They may just bridge the gap. Got the bucks? Put some money into financials. They are far from done. 12 months is my guess and they will be toast. Got the bucks? Put some money into AG. Populaton growth speakes for itself. Got some bucks? Play the RR game. It's a small version of the GS game none of us can play on our own.

I agree, but you know me....mostly in bullion not cash and that's what I think people otta do but I'm not them. As for the rest better in cash than in stocks, but yes one is never really out of the game entirely

With savings rates escalating and families hoarding cash you can bet the next great heist of North American wealth will eventually be on this market. The thief is undetermined....inflation, government, ??? Of course getting the timing right is the challenge.
