Real estate, bonds, foreign stocks, oil. There's a billion options out there. Or they can just sit and wait. Losing for a bit of inflation is better than losing 20-30% in a recession.

Except you can't time it like that. Inflation eats your savings all the time, while recessions are short.

I have a friend who's been saying "stocks are too risky" since about 2010. He prefers the predictable ~3% inflation...

1) We're not talking about retail investors here. 2) Institutional investors don't "time" things, they are the market movers.

Completely false. It has fallen nearly 5% since the tariffs were announced.
