Cash - The Strangest Asset Class

As we write this, inflation sores, markets tank, even hedges against inflation such as gold stay back.

We see our savings slashed as measured in euros and dollars, 

Day-to-day prices fall and fall.

Yet. There is one asset that behaves strangely. 

If another asset is down 50%, that means that cash is up 200% compared to that asset. 

 Le Radeau de La Méduse, sailing through strange waters
(Théodore Géricault, 1819)

And suddenly, cash - a perfect hedge when markets plummet - step out of the shadows with a quite impressive value explosion. 

Even when inflation rages through the economy.

These are months for cash.

How do you measure your wealth?

Farewell
