I would disagree with cash, but you can see the huge divergence in the performance of these two groupings over the past 35+ years. And as you can see this divergence is at a record extreme. 

Are we seeing the turning point, driven by the unimaginable catalyst of profligate monetary and fiscal action, combined with a global supply crunch and pent-up demand from a global pandemic? 

If it is, it would have good company, historically, in terms of major events.  If we look back at the periods where inflation assets outperformed deflation assets by 15 percentage points or more, we find three: 

1941 – End of the Depression and big government spending through The New Deal.  Inflation ramped up to double digits in 1942. 

1973 – Oil crisis.  Inflation ramped to double digits in 1974. 

2000 – Bursting of the dot com bubble.  The Fed prevented a spike in inflation, through rate hikes, but crushed the stock market and created recession. 

Again, these are historic periods where inflation assets outperformed.  It looks like we are in the early stages of another one:  buy inflation assets. 

Within the stock market, in this inflation price regime, value stocks are outperformers.  With that dynamic at work, our Billionaire’s Portfolio has been in the sweet spot, giving us multiples of what broader stocks are doing.  You can join us, and get my full portfolio of billionaire-owned value stocks.  We're doing about 5X the S&P 500 year-to-date.  You can sign up here.
