Elites are winning the War on Cash… Here’s what you can doby Jim Rickards
The war on cash has two main thrusts…
The first is to make it difficult to obtain cash in the first place.
The second thrust is to eliminate large-denomination banknotes.
I hold significant portion of my wealth in non-digital form, including real estate, fine art and precious metals in safe, non-bank storage.
I strongly suggest you do the same.

Investors are running out of cash — and that's terrible news for the stock marketby Joe Ciolli
A growing number of firms are sounding the alarm on investor cash levels that have dropped near the lowest levels in history.
Low cash levels are a threat to the ongoing equity bull rally, because it signals that investors are running out of money they can use to keep the market going higher.
While money market assets make up a record-low 17% of long-term funds, the cash balance of equity mutual funds also sits at an all-time low of 3.3%.

Stocks look pricey, bonds look pricey. Is it time for investors to consider cash?
By Ryan Vlastelica
Will cash be king in 2018?
A particular concern for bond investors is the expectation that the Treasury Department could issue $1 trillion of debt in 2018, almost double the amount seen in 2017.
According to the latest BofA Merrill Lynch fund manager survey, the average cash position in portfolios fell to a five-year low of 4.4%.
Equity allocation hit a two-year high of 55%

I Predicted This Slide Back in February - And We're Right on Target So Far
by Lee Adler
For those who came late to the idea of raising cash, I suggested that your selling program should be complete by the end of March, but I allowed for an extension until May because the market typically rallies from mid-April to mid-May thanks to the Treasury paying down debt.
But I would not delay beyond that.
The market scenario is playing out according to Hoyle, and I believe that it will continue to get worse.
Given that, I would not be averse to continuing to raise cash to the 80-100% level by mid-May.
