𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗘𝗧 𝗣𝗨𝗟𝗟𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 & 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗪𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗨𝗣 Markets dropped sharply yesterday, and today is showing similar weakness. Valuations are extremely stretched, which means even small disappointments can trigger outsized moves. Because the strategy allows precise control over the risk/return balance, I’ve reduced risk meaningfully over the past weeks. As mentioned in earlier posts (links in comments), the forward return outlook for the S&P 500 remains unattractive at these valuation levels. That adjustment is now paying off. While the S&P 500 closed at -1.7% and the Nasdaq at -2.3% yesterday, our portfolio fell just -0.5%. Today, S&P 500 futures are at -1% and the Nasdaq at -1.5%, while our portfolio is nearly flat at -0.25%. No portfolio can avoid losses entirely — but a smart one avoids the kind that take years to recover. Downside protection works like an umbrella: your feet may get wet, but your upper body stays dry. Bonds tend to fall less than stocks, and gold often holds value when uncertainty picks up. The key is diversification that actually diversifies. If everything moves together, you’re not protected. Real protection comes from assets that behave differently when stress hits. My strategy measures those relationships and builds an optimized mix to offset risk.
