  "In god we trust, all others pay cash." Equity is nice when things are on the up, but things like Netflix's recent problems will never happen to straight cash. It is certainly a balance.

    4x down is crazy, in 2008 when I was working at Google we had an option to reset the stock options (and their vesting period) when the stock price when down. It’s also quite interesting that they totally lost touch with the user base. Progressive liberal American values are very strange even for liberal people in many places where I go (outside US). It will be interesting to see if Reid can adapt, but I think he’s smart enough to change direction.

  > Stocks generally perform better than cash in inflationary environments I would challenge you to prove this statement with data. The S&P got crushed in both the 40s and the 70s. I mean setting the bar at returning better than -4% is absurdly low and major spans in both of those periods would have failed. Especially when you weigh the opportunity cost of other better inflation hedge trades you could make if you were compensated in cash, I don't think this is particularly wise advice. Especially in a recession that probably comes with a growth to value rotation, tech stocks are about the last place you want to be.
