what is safe? the golden question gold? well that ounce bar you just purchased was most likely mined by a major producer at a cash cost of 500$ an ounce. silver, pd,copper, all these assets will protect in high inflation but are at a premium today for what they're produced for gov bonds? to me debt ceiling is irrelevant as the us wont default but have you seen yeilds on us treasuries? who wants to tie money up in this environment microsoft? will windows be the top OS next decade? banks? please utilities? like tepco? or the ones that are locked in on long term power agreements that could be hurt with inflation too me its all speculation(as 2008 showed me) but at least small caps have simple balance sheets and smaller assets that imo are easier to value. Nothing makes me feel safer in the markets then buying stocks trading less then cash value, they tend to always give you at the very least a trade
