Recession Exposure
Disclaimer: No, I don't think we'll crash. No, I don't expect or want a crash. Yes, I am a bear. Now onto the thread. But the facts are in our face, this is a shaky market and things are a lot worse than we see in the daily news. As day traders, we are probably the best prepared considering we rarely hold anything over night and we can quickly adapt to new markets. But what if we have $500,000 just sitting there, how can we protect it?
Let's say our worst nightmare came true and the markets did in fact crash. Whether that be in one day or over the course of say a week. How would you best prepare yourself? Not just for the day, but for the longer haul. Maybe even a deep recession, obviously you don't want to be long your typical stock.
A few ideas I have are, long gold, long government bonds, and basically puts on the markets.
