[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MMF mostly. I agree that the value of the dollar is going to continue to decline. I can’t think of anywhere else to put the money though - bonds suck as an investment. [/quote]

[b]Bitcoin, gold, and real estate[/b]. I wouldn't touch bonds or MMF or CDs -- the U.S. dollar is a melting ice cube at this point and the interest on those assets doesn't even keep up with inflation. We are going to see a major devaluation of the U.S. dollar over the coming decade(s). [/quote]

No one considers those fixed income assets.

No one should consider getting a 4.5% return "income" when the currency you're getting a return on is inflating at 8%. That's not income -- that's loss. [/quote] I think you mean “deflating”, not “inflating”.

The dollar index (DXY) is currently higher (98.7) versus where it was 5 or even 10 years ago. But, you can pick specific points in time and say it’s higher or lower, depending on what you trying to prove. None of that makes fixed income a “loss”, nor does it support the idea that all assets should be in stocks or crypto. [/quote]
