You don't want to be holding cash in the face of rampant inflation. Also, as others have pointed out, inflation helps (or at least hurts less) those who hold substantial assets; it especially fricks those with fixed incomes or who live paycheck-to-paycheck. Which is fairly ironic, given who voted for Brandon.

Unless the inflation is also coupled with a crash in the market. It’s a tough one for sure

Which is why I'm not in finance... Can't believe we haven't seen a pullback to this point.

Same here. I have about 10% in the market and am leery of putting more. I made good gains after the Covid crash but it has been stagnant for months

Why would consumer prices oscillating have any affect on the market right now? Do you know who owns 90% of financial securities and who is consuming 90% of the goods and services in the U.S.? Not to mention we bypassed bankruptcies, drops in income, and buyback desks are in full operations and we have 7 million new leveraged retail traders.

The hotter inflation gets the more likely it is the Fed is going to respond to it which is not ideal for risk assets

Do you know the difference between inflation and increasing consumer prices?
Posted on 12/10/21 at 1:27 pm to wutangfinancial
Yes. My point stands
Posted on 12/10/21 at 1:30 pm to DallasTiger11
Okay, so why would they preemptively act?

They are already signaling

This^^^. If the USD isn't totally destroyed and there is a 30-40% crash on the stock market, the real estate market dips 10-20% .....you could snag some good deals with those beat down dollars, particularly if interest rates begin to rise.

Yep cash is king when people can’t afford to borrow money.
