Kim Githler started off the show in the Opening Remarks. She said that we are into another secular bull market. She said we should avoid cash because it will lose its value. We need to invest in real things. There is currently an upward trend in inflation and that this will continue.

I see, the idea is to invest in something... but in what? I don't like those conferences where "ideas" is being push over but no words is being said about the "real things", like in what to invest.
