5% and your argument would make sense. but besides revolutions, I think it’s hard because of variance to hit +5% 1000 times in a row and never -99%. you only need 10 bad years at -10% to go down 99%. from there to get back up you need a 10.000% and that’s not gonna happen.
the best bet as a theoretical thought, would be to buy useful natural resources and hide it in many different jurisdictions, as well as buying land.
Markets hate instability, and any price takes time to consolidate. It might never “consolidate”during high volatility.
dont see this as up as down but rather as volatility because yep it’s a volatile time
Short answer is a bunch of different uncorrrlated plays/tools such as: -Volatility trades -multi leg options on any asset class really -credit markets -algorithmic hedge funds
Etc
You can twist the villa however you want. It can be an investment through an SPV and you pay rent. To be clear, arguing (and using) something as a business expense or an investment is not fraudulent.
I don’t know who in their right mind would take out a million in salary and pay 50% of it and then buy a villa with $500k, rather than directly investing in a villa either for the appreciation itself or to use for business events, branding, whatever
And this is just one very simple way. there are countless permutations. You can go as complex as you want. You can mix and match around with credit and exotic laws and exotic countries and exotic legal structures all day long.
Sorry if reality upsets you: the world is setup by lawyers( and/politicians) for shareholders, and that's because they're the richest and capital=power.
this wont fix your CA problem. but it's mandatory. your CA with $100< budget can only be solved by finding a hack. like airbnb's cofounder programmed a bot to spam craiglist in the early days of airbnb, with airbnb's listings obviously. stuff like that. good luck.
