Your comment is not only naive, but completely irrelevant. Sidewalk guy wants to short the market on heavy margin with a downside price target that will at least double his money. Of course diversification is important. He owns a possum farm, whatever that is, as his primary cash generating investment. Timing is everything with a strategy like this. Risk / reward can be adjusted with out-of-the-money puts.
Sounds good, but remember that when yield to maturity on bonds rise, the price goes down. I moved 2.0 from the S&P into the Russell 2000. My rationale was that multinational large caps will get hurt the most by a Trump's trade talk. Small caps will not be affected as much. So far, the Russell 2000 has been outperforming the S&P. Ticker symbol IWM, if want to consider a position.
IIN I think the super rich and a-list celebrities are disgusting
