Hard assets sound good about now. With inflation running at 7% and in reality much more, letting it sit would be like watching ice melt on a warm day.

The market is being hit now due to interest rates and the fed trying to combat inflation. I wish I had a crystal ball that could tell me when it will hit bottom.

Anyone got a crystal ball?

This. Right now there is no safe investment to keep up with inflation. Any investment to return 7% or more in 18 months would be very high risk right now

Good comments. Munger said it best “I assume and invest with the thought the USD and currencies will be worthless in 100 years”. He’s likely right.

The dollar has lost over 96% of its value. $1 in 1800 is equivalent in purchasing power to around $22.13 today. Today's dollar would be worth less than 4 cents back in 1913. 1913 is when the Federal Reserve took over the US banking system.
