How would it worth less except for inflation?
I think most of the cash is in high quality (mostly Fed) ST paper. And with rates down to 0-0.25%, even the LT bonds might have gained value. It is likely he will deploy the cash!!!

Fundamentally cash is trash considering the trillions of dollars the Fed is printing daily in even larger schemes to pump up markets but psychologically the US Dollar is king.Despite the trillions being pumped daily,the USD rose and has been remarkably stable.How is this possible?The US Dollar is the world's reserve currency backed by the US superpower status and petrodollar system.Most central bank reserves and most global trade is in USD and lots of debt especially in the emerging and frontier markets are USD denominated debt.This creates a massive constant massive demand for dollars.The current implosion of markets is creating a deflationary spiral making the USD even more sought after despite the trillions being printed.Foreign markets especially European banks are USD strapped thus Fed has setup currency swap lines with European Central Bank to reliquify the European banks with dollars.There is at least 11 trillion of USD denominated foreign debt where interest and principal payments have to still be made so there foreign nations are desperately seeking dollars to make their debt payments.Mainstream investors panicking put of asset classes like stocks are reverting to cash making the demand of dollars even stronger.Investors see no alternative to put their money in USD since the other major currencies facing even more dire straits.Would you park your money in the Euro,Yen when the Eurozone and Japan have negative central bank rates and negative yielding bonds?The British Pound is too small a market and the Chinese also printing money in droves and would you park your cash in a Communist dictatorship where the Yuan isnt a fully convertible currency?Thus in the short term the USD remains King but long term this money printing shenanigans will result in massive decline in the greenback.

As it now the norm,everyday the markets create a new twist.Apart from the massive repos and QE liquidity injections now running at at least a trillion a day,the Fed will print an least an extra 1 trillion to bailout the commercial paper market.Above this,there is now fiscal stimulus.Trump and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin announced sweeping bailout measures that will incur over 1 trillion



An administration official said the package could include:

$500 billion to $550 billion in direct payments or tax cuts
$200 billion to $300 billion in small business assistance
$50 billion to $100 billion in airline and industry relief

Every American (except millionaires and billionaires) will each get 1,000 USD each immediately



They are also deffering tax payments by 90 days




So where are all these trillions for bailouts coming from.Simple the Fed will just create the money from nothing (keystrokes in computer screens to credit the commercial bank and corporate accounts)

Stock market closed higher yesterday due to these massive money printing packages but now open lower with futures yet again hitting limit down and futures trading is halted



WOOOOI!!

For those short selling various European markets, shorting has been banned entirely or on select stocks in Italy, Spain, France and the UK. Expect more countries to follow. Best migrate those shorts to the respective indices of interest.

Slick, I told ya mbro. You can never win against the mbankstas.
Just join us in planting beans and building mijengo. I remember circa 2009 I was up 200k usd trading on a swiss account going long on some commodities. I thought I was a genius with maneno minki minki on the trading forums just like you. Then one day the graph when shuuuuuuuuuuu pwappp down to my automatic stop position cleaning out 90 percent of those gains in a day! No market news concerning the commodities at hand, no crises, no nothing! The next day it promptly went straight back up pwaaaaaap to where it had been the previous day! That's when I knew those manenos are rigged, mbro. They routinely "flush" out all the positions with automatic stops for the heck of it, and make a killing doing so. Once they ban shorts its curtains mbro. Beans and mijengo are the only recourse kapsa kapsa.

WTI losses outpacing Brent nearly twice as fast. US energy sector index crashed below GFC lows! Lots of pain for shale producers.
