Episode notes
Prioritize Risk Over Being Right
- Accept that you do not know the future and treat predictions as probabilistic hunches.
- Manage risk first by focusing on limiting losses rather than proving you were right.
True Diversification Means Different Bet Types
- Diversification needs truly uncorrelated strategies, not just different stock buckets.
- Combine long-only, income (short strangles), tactical long/short, crypto, bonds and real estate for robust portfolios.
Use Short Strangles For Steady Income
- Use short strangle income on highly liquid, high-IV ETFs as a diversification sleeve.
- Expect steady income with small drawdowns; allocate a portion (e.g., 10–30%) depending on risk tolerance.
