Nov 25, 2025

Cash may make us feel safe—but does it actually make us secure?

In this episode of Pocket-Sized Advice, Miller Hoffman breaks down the real meaning behind the phrase “Cash is King” and why relying too heavily on cash may not be the best long-term investment strategy.

Miller explains the difference between safety vs. security, why cash feels comforting in the short term, and how nearly 100 years of historical data shows the dramatic gap between cash returns and long-term market growth.

He also shares a favorite Warren Buffett analogy about cash being like oxygen—when you don’t have it, it’s all you can think about.
