The problem with this is inflation. Cash is a melting ice cube. The more years you wait in cash the more capital you lose and the more gains you have to make to break even. If you hold $200 billion in cash for 5 years even after taking interest (after tax) into account that $200 billion will probably be worth $170 billion so whatever you invest in after 5 years first has to make you $30 billion just to breakeven.
