3. Think only in terms of what will beat inflation

I've been watching youtube gurus ... quality, dividend yielding commodity or oil stocks. Copper. In a crash, dividend growth/appreciation/achiever ETFs and funds because they are the equivalent of throwing the baby out with the bath water. The rich love crashes because quality gets beaten down too. They buy great assets that will rebound and beat inflation, and they buy them on the cheap. Generation after generation. That's why they get rich and we never make progress.

On edit: Oh, I answered the wrong question again. You asked about stashing. Private credit has permeated all but bank deposits and Treasuries, and even some banks have private credit exposure. So yes, the stash place is CD's, Treasuries IMHO.
