At no stage did I ask for comments. 

The thread is about cash being King.  

There have been thoughts exchanged for and against this philosophy, in the context of a useful and constructive discussion, barring your own contributions which seem designed to be primarily provocative. 

All I did was offer a possible alternative to holding one's entire asset base in cash, in putting  a small amount of that capital into the market.

I used BHP as an example because I believe it's a company that will still be profitable in decades to come and if what I have suggested doing as an interim measure doesn't work out, I would simply hold the shares for the long term. 

 To make it really simple for you, think of it as buying BHP shares for the purpose of a long term hold (at what many would say are bargain prices at present), but then - if the opportunity presents itself during that hold - selling at, say, 10% profit, then re-investing on the next dip, and so on.

Now, you may continue to raise all the objections you like.  It's immaterial to me.  I don't propose to continue to respond to your goading.

As Robots would say:

Thank you.
