Visualizing inflation of the US Dollar

27 Jul 2020

Stock market up... Crypto up... Precious Metals up... what is going down? Your buying power... if you hold CASH! Not many are really noticing that with historically (even lower) low interest rates and helicopter money being written in checks to everyone that we may now be visually seeing the inflation of the USD.

I am speculating a -6% drop in the US Dollar Index over the next 1-2 years. This is not apples to apples for the buying power as it is just relative to other countries' currencies but it is a good measure. If your assets are not returning greater than 7% or you are not locking in credit at a fixed rate of 5% or less then you are essentially losing by sitting in cash.
