Stocks? Bear market, economy could be heading to recession.
Real estate? Interest rates up, possible recession, prices could crash.
Bonds? Interest rates going up and likely going much higher, horrible for bonds.
Gold, gold miners, etc.? These are going down given the risk of recession.
Are there ANY assets one can (relatively) safely park one's cash? If you just leave it cash you get raped by inflation.
This really freaking sucks.
And btw, leaving it in cash would not get you raped by inflation especially if you put them in term deposits that are paying quite decent interest rates right now. And think of it this way, you are avoiding all of the possible negative returns aka losses if you have invested in other assets by keeping it all in cash. It would be even worse, losing money via negative returns AND losing money to inflation.
