So it's considered to be a proxy for being as nearly as safe as cash.
So companies and consumers often use them like a checking account to store their cash or their dry powder.
So basically, if somebody is a little skittish about where the market is headed, they can invest into a money market fund and sit on the sidelines to avoid greater losses in stocks and bonds and whatever else asset they might be invested in.
Cash in times like this actually ends up becoming one of the top performers.
So last year, cash and gold were actually one of the very few assets that didn't fall as hard as stocks or bonds.
And that made them a top performer, even if they didn't like, you know, gain 20% or something like that in a year.
So that's a really big thing for investors because, yeah, sure, you're not making any more money than you're losing, but it's helping to sort of tamp down those losses.
Exactly.
That's the point.
So let's say like, you know, if you hold it cash from 1999 to the end of 2021, you would have made $150 out of $100 invested.
Whereas if you had invested in stocks, that same $100 would have surged 394%.
For the longest time, cash was trash.
No one cared about cash.
If you told someone you were investing in cash, they thought you were crazy.
And obviously that started to change last year.
What happened?
For over a decade, we had this incredible run-up in the equity market.
These fast-growing shares of technology companies and all that.
They made investing in stocks so lucrative that if you weren't investing in it, you had a fear of missing out.
People even had a saying, there's no alternative to stocks.
