The wise, like the fool, makes mistakes. The difference is that the wise is prepared & knows way ahead of time the cost of every mistake. For the wise, a mistake is local; for the fool, the mistake is global.*

*There is a technical dimension, see my election forecasting thing.

COUNTERINTUITIVE FINANCE
What's the best (short term) inflation hedge?
Cash!
The great fallacy is that assets are great inflation hedges. They initially collapse when rates go up. Fighting inflation is the pbm.

Cash allows one to accumulate assets *after* they collapse.
