- caminante 10mo agoTiming the market is bad, but I'm reading "risk averse" as selling equities and buying bonds. The problem is that this recent equities run has been extra terrible for more conservative 60/40 portfolios [0].

- dboreham 10mo ago> selling equities and buying bonds There's an intermediate option: sell high P/E stocks and buy lower P/E stocks with dividend paying history. There are ETFs designed for this purpose too.

- caminante 10mo agoUhhh...you're describing something like QAI? [0] And you're going to short a portfolio of TSLA, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL, NFLX, AMD...? That's crazy. [0] https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QAI/ https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QAI/
- pinkmuffinere 10mo agoI am indeed short TSLA (or rather, am taking an inverse position), and have greatly reduced my exposure to NVDA, AMZN, META, MSFT, and AAPL. I keep some exposure to GOOGL, NFLX, AMD, because I believe they are going to "win" in their industry in the long run. I plan to keep exposure to them for like 10+ years. I have a blog post about the inverse TSLA position here: https://bagelpour.wordpress.com/2025/11/30/taking-an-inverse-position-on-tesla/ https://bagelpour.wordpress.com/2025/11/30/taking-an-inverse...
