I put a small portion of my short-term portfolio into shorts on a basket of high-valued, money-losing, non-dividend paying, declining companies last friday. I can't predict how this will pan out but at least it will be a hedge. A full 80% of my non-retirement portfolio was in a short term treasury bond ETF (SHY) after I blanket-sold everything in January to try to make a down payment on real estate. I figured I could handle the extra volatility of SHY over SHV.
Buying VTI dollar cost averaging with some extra money I had laying around. I’ll hold for an extra year to qualify as long term capital gains.
I'd buy puts and write calls on all of the public unicorns in the bay because they're going to take a huge hit on productivity as soon as people start being hospitalized
