It is if you put your cash in money markets paying over 4% now and with inflation those rates will increase. You can also consider investing in free floating bank loan stocks/mutual funds which are yielding around 8% and tend to do well in an inflationary environment.

Unless you are an investor who is under 50 years old, the "powder dry" strategy is a pretty good one if you want to sleep well at night;)
Dry powder is also a good strategy if you feel the markets are going to crash and you want to pick up the pieces on the other end.

We need to consider a near future with Recession + Inflation.

So much #winning.

HSBC double-upgrades Europe stocks as it lowers U.S. rating to neutral​

HSBC: U.S. tech valuations are tempting but Europe still steals show​



“The year has started with a big rally for European stocks as the U.S. market struggles to remain above water.

Now, HSBC strategists are changing their tune. HSBC gave a double-upgrade upgrade of Europe stocks, excluding the U.K., to overweight from underweight, while downgrading the U.S. to neutral.

An investor following HSBC’s advice wouldn’t be shifting their money that much, however. Their recommended allocation would have 11% going to Europe stocks and 64% to the U.S. But it follows a period in which the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF VGK +1.45% has gained 16% while the S&P 500 SPX +0.55% has declined by 2%. …”
 
S&P down 2% and NASDAQ down 3% on tariff fears, inflation concerns, and even heightened recession concerns (though most economist do not forecast one for the year, YET.) But a major slowdown is plenty enough to send markets tumbling with still, very high valuations.
