As the stock market and economy are set to skid, Goldman says cash will be king

Cash is king. That is according to Goldman Sachs strategists who predict that 2019 will deliver lackluster, single-digit stock-market returns, making greenbacks the best game in town.

“We forecast S&P 500 will generate a modest single-digit absolute return in 2019. The risk-adjusted return will be less than half the long-term average. Cash will represent a competitive asset class to stocks for the first time in many years,” analysts at Goldman, led by David Kostin, wrote in a research reported dated Nov. 19.

Referencing a bull market approaching its 10th year that has delivered double-digit gains in 2017 and repeated records for the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA, -2.21% the S&P 500 index SPX, -1.82% and the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP, -1.70% Goldman said “all good things must eventually come to an end.”

The strategists echo a common mantra among market bears: a deceleration in economic expansion and corporate profits will occur in 2019 because 2018 produced stellar GDP and earnings fueled by corporate tax cuts from the Trump administration and other business-favorable policies.

Save all your cash...Its gonna make you rich.

If you have cash and have no idea to do what, then its as good as not to have cash.

Cash hoarders, Investment of life time is about to happen.

Trade wars are helping American companies but in short term only.

In longer run, Trade cuts won’t help America..!

Markets could have busted last quarter but tax cuts hide most part of it.

Matter of time. If i'm not wrong, if the markets continue to downhill, they will reverse all trade mess (but it's already out of hands). Honestly, markets are now responding to the trade decisions he made.
