Only if you divest before the bubble pops though. It's about as safe as investing in a ponzi scheme.

There's a strategy called "momentum investing" which is exactly investing in hot stocks betting that they will become hotter. It works every time, until it doesn't.

There's also black swan betting (although I don't know what it's actually called). It never works until it does.

It's called "the lottery".

Technically you have better odds (50/50) than the lottery

And then you're called ,,lucky''

What do you divest into when your hypothesis is that there will be a currency collapse. ;)

[–]paperraincoat 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lots of guesses here, but the usual answer is stocks/commodities. They represent shares of a business, so if the local currently inflates, they inflate right along with it. This is why we see this upward trend on the chart above despite a recession - the government has been dumping $80 billion a month into the banks via quantitative easing.

Exactly! Having a secure system that ACCURATELY tracks the transfer of value, weather it be a worthless currency or medical inventory, is becoming more and more of a valuable asset as each day goes by.

Actual real goods since if a major currency collapses so does the host country - if the host country is entrenched enough in the global economy, the world collapses. Money's worthless then.

I don't think you are correct as the US dollar is highly valued in Argentina as money.

The question is what becomes money if the world's reserve currency hyperinflates.

Or you do the intelligent thing with the equities market and hold for the long-term. You could have invested in the broader stock market at the peak of those two bubbles and you'd still be ahead today, despite enduring two 'poppings'. Timing the market is a sucker's game.

That's just crazy talk! You mean to tell me that if I invest long term that the bumps won't matter? Next you'll tell me that investing in get-rich-quick schemes fail more often than they work.

Yes thats correct. They do not matter At all over the long term. Thats why a janitor put $300 a month into stocks every month for 50 years and donated $5,000,000 to library a few years ago. The actual only thing that works for sure in the history of the stock market is complete diversification across all types companies, reits, international, emerging markets and bonds and forgetting about it and not reading headlines and rebalancing on the ups and downs. Best done with etfs and no load mutual funds.

True, but if you were doing that to begin with 'equities are going up a lot right now' wouldn't factor into your decision to invest.
