RE: Traders... worked out how they do it...wink wink!16 Jan 2021 15:53
it's even worse, if you don't be believe in currency (I don't, particularly, not when any bank/central bank/fed can print as many as they want and they're all outdoing themselves) what do you buy? shares in nickel producer? physical gold? bitcoin? definitely not airline shares? Property? Each investor will find their own answers to the above but many asset classes just aren't producing, or don't consistently produce over prolonged periods so we need to keep moving it around. For e.g. - property hold some value but doesn't particularly yield that much. And is illiquid.
Having a decent tranche your investment in a clearly in-demand commodity for the next decade is as good as any, I would argue, from the list above.
