Doesn’t mean it can’t, nor that it won’t, but how are your silver dollars buried in a coffee can in the back yard doing? Do you still remember where you buried them?
Just kidding, although I do know a family who - when grandpa fell off the twig - had to uproot the whole back and front yard before they dared sell the house. Fortunately the Friends of the Library they donated the collection of novels to called them up when they dropped one of the old guy’s library and $20 bills came fluttering out from every 25 pages or so…

Long term it's always gone up, we know as far back as 1600. Through laziness or a slight tendency to follow financially conservative advice, I've always left my stuff in the market, and it's paid off. Very few can time the market, probably count them on the fingers of one hand (warren, etc).
That's not an absolute under all circumstances, nuclear war, asteroid impact, zombie apocalypse... a major reset to global civilization could be problematic. Guess you could invest in gold and pallets of NATO 7.62.

Sure hasn’t worked that way with inflation over the years. Nor with a BROADLY diversified mutual fund.

Wednesday's EIA Oil inventory report should be telling
Japan stopped publishing the oil data.
Fujairah is near tank bottom.
European oil inventories are collapsing.
US is the only visible one left with cushion. The US is 20% of global oil inventories.
When the market sees how fast visible onshore inventories decline, the inflection point will come.

Said it before, will say it again. This 61-day unapproved war/conflict/adventure is Stoopid with two O's. Legality aside, everyone enjoy their gas prices. Spirit is one domino. Genuinely hoping that and Jet A miss the rest.
