What hedges (if any) do you have against a market downturn?
Deep OTM puts
Isn't that pretty expensive?
Not really, you can check what the SPX puts are going for. If the market drops they're very liquid so there's a good chance you can be in the green even if they're still out of the money.
Calculate delta of your portfolio and buy SPX puts in a quantity to make it delta neutral
Bonds, a commodity ETF and crypto
Can you provide the specifics? Seems like you know what you're doing, might help the plebs.
Cash is always a good hedge against recession. You can buy things cheaply once recession is realized
Terrible advice
Why?
If you follow the SPDR sector rotation theory, then typically stocks in the Consumer Staples category are safer bets during down times
High Income MFs
What is the point or goal of the hedge? Short term investments? If they are long term retirement investments then who cares? My "hedge" is cash as another commenter said. To buy more in a dip. Or to buy RE on a discount. Aside from dry powder for strategic buying, I set and forget VTSAX because retirement horizon is long term.
None.
During the Great Depression, it took the stock market only 3.5 years to return after it crashed, accounting for deflation. I think I'll just wait it out
long term treasuries
Treasuries aren’t a good hedge for stocks
We'll see about that when the negative yield craze reaches the US
