 This whole mantra of cash is trash just makes me laugh. Do you know the five-year return on the Barclays Aggregate Index, which is the S&P 500 of bonds, is negative? You've lost money in the bond market for five years. That means you lost your entire coupon and some of your principal. And yet people keep piling into this stuff. You know what the single best performing asset class is among traditional fixed income asset classes over the last five years? Cash. Interesting there.
