40% emerging markets stocks which I know very well and always follow them from quarter to quarter. 60% in cash.

I think a crisis will happen so I would rather keep my money so when it happens, I can buy some stuff.

How long have you been in cash? Are you at least putting your cash in a GIC or bonds or treasury bills so you get some relief?

Cash decreases in value by the inflation rate daily so it's not a wise investment.

The market looks fine right now.

I don't care about 2% a year, a bit more would cost me LIQUIDITY or would cost me more % if I need liquidity. Again, I care about liquidity. I currently make more in a month than that. I would only care about this if I would be already financially independent, with a few mlns on my bank.

Market doesn't look fine to me. Yield curve changed. Very likely that in 18 months there will be a crisis.

In the US market, I am in the paranoid camp ... I have 80% cash right now. Waiting for a major drop, which is long over due.
