For every seller there is a buyer, and many are buying stocks and crypto right now at low prices. And why wouldn't they? The fed is manipulating the market with interest rates, just as they did during Corona. History proves in the long run holding dollars is good for short term stability, but it's a long term loser.
- SamBam 4y ago"For every seller there is a buyer" is the kind of meaningless statement one can make any time there is a major downturn or collapse in a market. 1929-1932, the Dow drops 90%. "For every seller there is a buyer, and many are buying stocks [...] right now at low prices." Some people eventually did great, so it's all wonderful, so long as you ignore the staggering pain of the Great Depression.

- trixie_ 4y agoI guess it works both ways, people panic sell and panic buy. Neither are smart moves.

That's why one should not hold huge quantities of money for long times, but invest in debt and equity. 10 yr real rates even on treasuries have been almost always positive [1], though shorter riskless real rates have gone negative [2].
