About This Quote
The quote above is a true statement. Money does not always keep its value. It can become worthless overnight. Whether this happens because the Federal Reserve increases the Federal Funds Rate or because of some other reason, it is still true that money can lose its value over night.
However, money does not keep its value only by being spent on something that is inherently valuable or useful. Money keeps its value by being invested in the market place, the stocks of businesses. Someone who puts money into a company will grow his wealth, whereas someone who puts money into financial instruments will lose his wealth.
But, even with the risk of losing wealth, putting money into stocks is still more preferable than putting it into something that is intrinsically worthless.
