The Track Record of Investing in Cash in 2022

Cash and gold were actually one of the very few assets that didn't fall as hard as stocks or bonds. That made them a top performer, even if they didn't like to gain 20% in a year. If you hold a cash from 1999 to 2021, you would have made $150 out of $100 invested. Whereas if you had invested in stocks, that same $100 would have surged 394%.
