👍🏽 not for a lot of people - most blindly dismissing sector bc of how poor the equities have performed - but there is a real opportunity there as an emerging market over-taking a multi billion dollar illicit one.

Systematic elimination of custody has created absolute bargain barrel prices - but no one cares until the catalyst comes.

Man what is going on with your banks where interest rates are still this low with such high inflation?

Here in Australia 4.25% is about the average savings interest you can get on any standard bank account. Higher if using fixed term deposits or saver accounts.

I mean I’ve got my money parked in an offset account on my mortgage netting me a guaranteed 6.09% return (more if there are further rate rises) and far less volatile than anything I could buy on the ASX or NASDAQ.

The OPs chart only shows the drawdowns in the data. That chart is designed for shock factor to scare people into thinking that there is something bad happening. The actual data from the FRED site shows the reality. It shows that all of the drawdowns are minuscule in the grand scheme of things. Bank deposits not only have continuously trended higher over time, the current draw down is a fraction of what was moved into deposits over the past couple years.

The market makes no sense. I just buy calls in uptrend and puts in downtrends to collect free money regardless. The rest is noise.
