“ Buying real assets was a pretty bad strategy in 2006.”
True, though that (and other) years are more of an exception than a rule. There are many years in the past where buying real assets was an excellent strategy. Doing so prior to a time of increased inflation and locking in loans prior to increasing interest rates can be a very successful strategy.
The question for today is whether or not you’ve missed the boat.
If you miss a boat my experience it it’s best to wait for the next boat, not jump into the water and try to swim to catch up to it.
That boat has left the dock and you can’t even see the smoke over the horizon.
