Group 1 - The current economic environment is characterized by deflation despite significant monetary expansion, with M2 surpassing 326 trillion and a year-on-year growth of 7% [1][3] - The contradiction between monetary expansion and deflation is attributed to the fact that much of the money remains within the financial system and does not circulate into the economy, coupled with reduced consumer purchasing power due to income loss and unemployment [3][4] - Prices of essential goods and assets have decreased significantly, indicating that cash is becoming more valuable in a deflationary environment, with examples such as pork prices dropping from 28 yuan to 17 yuan per jin and car prices falling from 250,000 yuan to 180,000 yuan [6][4] Group 2 - Holding cash provides a hedge against investment risks, as many individuals have faced substantial losses in stock markets and other investment vehicles, with average losses for stock investors reaching 140,000 yuan last year [8][10] - Cash reserves are crucial for emergencies, allowing individuals to manage unexpected situations such as job loss or medical emergencies without financial strain [10] - Cash holders are positioned to seize investment opportunities when market conditions improve, as they can wait for asset bubbles to deflate before making strategic investments [12][10]
