Investment is a portfolio. Even if you win by betting on a single stock, it's just temporary luck. Different hedging instruments hedge against different risks; there's no panacea.

✅Crypto stocks are not digital gold and cannot remain unscathed; they carry even greater risks than chip tech stocks.

✅Blue-chip value stocks like KO and MO can protect against valuation destruction when growth stock bubbles burst during economic overheating.

✅Insurance stocks like UNH or stocks with insurance attributes like BRK.B can ensure stable cash flow during recession cycles. The so-called hedging attribute of healthcare stocks is merely their low correlation with the economic cycle, not that they are immune to changes in their own fundamentals, sentiment, policy, or black swan events—for example, European companies like NVO.

✅Gold GLD can hedge against geopolitical risks and fiat currency depreciation, but silver can be used for trading swings.

✅When facing the real damage of a liquidity crisis, only cash-like products such as short-term bond money market funds can save you.
