First, do we have two Bubbas or two different accounts by the same guy?

I would not expect the dollar to actually "collapse," but when it significantly declines in value (as it has been doing), that directly affects the real value of all our TSP accounts (and any other savings held in dollars). The dollar's value and price inflation are like two sides of the same coin.

I heard some folks discussing this study on the radio. They said that if it was not for all these tariffs, the US inflation rate would be about 2%, instead of approx 3% annualized rate it is currently at. Makes me imagine where Fed cuts would be if we were at 2%.

It just "feels" like de-dollarization and its current decline is putting alot of stress on the market, and people are shifting into asset classes as a byproduct to protect what they have. I truly wish (outside of the G-Fund) there was another asset class we could shift into when the market is behaving this way.
