what a ding dong - the stock market is going up and it’s not time to sell. The bond market on the other hand will probably take a tumble when the Fed stops buying the bonds....someday

When inflation happens you want stocks - stocks generally mean assets and assets will rise in value.

Holding cash is dumb... cash is the one investment guaranteed to decrease in value over time. (ya hold enough to glide through downturns)

well said. But a key point ... and I’m sure you know this .. it also depends on your time horizon for needing the money and willingness to take risk. Slightly different answers for someone 25 vs 65. A 65 year old has to be more careful IMO but even then needs to have something in stocks or will likely run out of money. A 25 year old should asset allocate and forget about it.
