All the gains we’ve made in stocks, crypto and other assets since the pandemic has vanished. We’re back to square one.

The whole thing has been unwound. Everyone’s portfolio from Warren Buffett to Joe Schmo down the street has taken a massive fucking haircut.

As the old saying goes, “He who holds cash during a recession is king.” If you have a steady income, you can buy assets on the cheap; you can have the entire restaurant to yourself while others prioritize bills. And if you don’t have a steady income, then you may have to liquidate your assets for the time being.
