I keep a stash of cash on hand. Never know when you'll need the funds for an emergency.

Indeed. Cash emergency funds are awesome. Cash retirement plans are not awesome because over time cash is a guaranteed loss, due to inflation.

Companies are also spending lots of money on their own stock which can also be used to make acquisitions.

The build up of cash can also be a negative sign -- they don't know what to do with all the money they are currently making and are afraid to invest it in anything.

Although, I'll go with "T h rive" and dollar cost average for my personal investments.

Having cash is very reassuring. I know that if I get laid off, we will be okay for 6 month to 1 year with only minor belt-tightening. Whereas another couple we know, who rely on their credit cards as their emergency fund, cannot make the mortgage within one month of either one being laid off. They make more money than we do, but their outflow is a lot higher too.

If we're buying our stock throughout the 'recession' (dollar cost averaging) - then we don't have to 'time' the market - buy once a quarter, or twice a year...whichever's affordable. It's also a sketchy idea to try to decide if CEOs are buying stock out of optimism, or making a point (marketing).

cash is good too.

So you are saying that these big corporations are waiting for the recession in order to buy companies on the cheap. Maybe we should be investing our cash in stocks now ;-)

It's interesting that we have both of these sayings:

"Cash is king"

"Cash is trash"

I agree about cash, even on a smaller scale, like having a credit card that gives you cash-back, rather than points. Cash is cash, it's tangible.
