    You couldn't be more wrong, the small amount of cash that I hold has performed far less favourably than my other assets.

    My other assets might be momentarily declining using your weird accountancy methods. But the fact is that the capital value of our properties have increased significantly in the last 2-3 years. So I don't really care if the value stagnates or even dips for a short period. What I care about is what can we sell them for in about 10-15 years time.

    My shares haven't performed as well as the property, but much better than cash, storing your wealth in cash is a mugs game, unless you need it in the short term (I don't).


    In all seriousness I don`t think it is, in this environment of deflation. The fact that the PTB have tried, and failed over the last few years to keep us out of deflation with all their stimulus should be a loud warning bell to anyone sitting on property and hoping that things are going to stabilise at the "new normal".

    cash is the only asset that isn't depreciating at the moment.
    property- falling
    shares- falling
    commodities- falling
