If this were true, why would gold be the only safe haven? Surely any other currency would suffice.

- perl4ever 6y agoHistorically, in the 1970s and early 80s, inflation seemed very bad for stocks. Single digit p/e ratios. I'm not clear on whether it would be the same today. One argument might be that most of the stock market capitalization is so globalized these days that devaluing the US dollar shouldn't have much effect on revenue. In other words, maybe US stocks would constitute a safe haven currency too. But I can't say I'm confident of that.
