It's official, Helicopter money is coming!!

Without wishing to sound overly stupid...

What might the average investor sitting on cash do? Frankly I am little concerned my monies are losing value when compared to assets such as housing , stocks etc. (no loans and about 70% in stocks 30% cash..)

Does one just buy some of the high priced housing or gold? what is one to do?

I really mean it....

70/30 with cash is reasonable IMO. Maybe short term bond fund.

Money in exchange for nothing has been going on for a very long time, it has just been more easily obscured and it has gone into the pockets of the very few.

Helicopter money is an intelligent response to the messes we've acquired, which manifest as inflated currency value (and persistent trade deficits), and low consumer demand. Printing money debt free would lower the US$ exchange value, close the trade deficit, and increase inflation, real wages, and domestic real investment.

Should have been done years ago.
