This week is pretty bearish so far.
When the market is doing well, your stocks go up and my hedge fund goes up as well.
There's not many opportunities that a hedge fund can outperform the market when the market is very bullish.
You can only beat the market during a bull market with either leverage or better stock selection (which the latter is much harder than it looks)
During a bear market, this is where my hedge fund will shine.
During a bear market, we first hold cash.
This means if S&P 500 -5%, we will be down 0%. This generates better than market return by 5% simply by holding cash during bearish weeks.
Second, we take on a short position.
This means if our short position makes +5%, we will be +5% vs S&P 500 -5%. Hence, we would be +10% ahead.
Currently, we have taken on a short position.
These are the bearish weeks where we can get ahead of the market.
This is why Mark Cuban said everyone is a genius during a bull market.
Because the real test comes from bear markets.
