But if in the downward cycle, I'm afraid some \"fixed income\" products can give investors more protection. Bonds with fixed interest payment&nbsp;are&nbsp;natually&nbsp;good&nbsp;choice, but don't forget that many companies pay dividends. Warrent&nbsp;Buffett (at least in the early days) is a famous dividend lover, Dividend income can also get extra cash. In addition, under the tight environment, companies who buy back are also good targets. This is one&nbsp;reason&nbsp;why&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>&nbsp;outperformed the market this&nbsp;year. <img referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c9598263c055e7341b1590309021a5c\" tg-width=\"-1\" tg-height=\"-1\"> Coincidently, those companies in the defensive sector pay more attention to dividends, such&nbsp;as energy, tobacco, daily consumption and large medical companies all have good dividend yields. Other financial companies will also provide shareholders with good dividend returns for a long time. While some companies' share prices have fallen, their profit levels can still be maintained, and their dividend yields will also rise. <h4>Third, appropriate hedging methods</h4> When it comes to hedging at the level of individual stocks, derivatives are often used. For example, in order to protect some stock positions that may fall due to financial reports and other events, investors will buy some PUT or sell Covered CALL to hedge. Some stocks even have separate futures products. For the hedging of the whole portfolio, there are more choices. However, it should be related to the overall Beta of the current portfolio. <blockquote>\n For example, a portfolio with&nbsp;50% $Apple (AAPL) $And 50%<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$</a>,&nbsp;How to hedge the whole&nbsp;portfolio&nbsp;risk? \n</blockquote> <blockquote>\n Obviously, short at 1: 1&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPY\">$SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$</a>&nbsp; is not complete, because AAPL's beta=1. 10, TSLA's beta=2. 05, which&nbsp;means&nbsp;the&nbsp;portfolio's beta=1. 575. That is to say, if you want to completely hedge this stock portfolio, you need to short it at a ratio of 1: 1.575. \n</blockquote> There are many ways 1. Direct purchase of ETFs with reverse short index&nbsp;For example<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SH\">$ProShares Short S&amp;P500(SH)$</a>Or with levers<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SQQQ\">$ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ(SQQQ)$</a>. However, it should be noted that these short index products do not directly short all stocks, do not completely correspond to index fluctuations, and have management fees, leverage loss, etc., and the actual effect is very limited. 2. Directly short index ETFs,&nbsp;Including shortingSPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPY\">$(SPY)$</a>/Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VOO\">$(VOO)$</a>/Invesco QQQ Trust<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QQQ\">$(QQQ)$</a>And so on, market index ETFs with good liquidity can basically track the market well, which is a relatively simple way. Of course, there is an extra cost to shorting, and there is also the risk of being recovered. 3. Derivatives through the market index.&nbsp;For example, stock index futures and options. These products are more complicated. For example, futures have contango, backwardation&nbsp;and other&nbsp;expenses, while options, whether they buy PUT or use Covered CALL, will face more \"variability\" and extra costs.&nbsp; Simple PUT can alleviate the market risk of sharp decline, while Covered CALL is more to protect the asset portfolio with&nbsp;a&nbsp;time&nbsp;fading. ,Cnce options are involved, we must know the delta, gamma and other information of the purchased options, and do a good job of hedging the corresponding proportion that we can bear. 4. Buy other financial assets related to the marketSuch as gold, national debt, etc. If you want to hedge the market through these, you must have a very deep understanding of the correlation between them and the market. In a word, the current market volatility has indeed caused many investors to have some fears, and the market dominated by quantification is easier to enlarge the fears. Therefore, compared with waiting for death, it is increasingly becoming the survival rule of weak markets for individual investors to take the initiative to carry out some defenses when they have positions.</body></html>","htmlText":"<html><head></head><body>Hedging&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;main&nbsp;concern&nbsp;of&nbsp;investors <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/.SPX\">$S&amp;P 500(.SPX)$</a> index down&nbsp;to&nbsp;3991 on May 9&nbsp;close, the first time&nbsp;fell below 4000 points since the April last year,&nbsp;while&nbsp;Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;Index&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/.IXIC\">$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$</a> has retreated by 25.7% since&nbsp;the&nbsp;year, falling to the level of two years ago. <img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/2415cd6fbea4b714d473e46e2f226940\" tg-width=\"-1\" tg-height=\"-1\"> What is the difference between this round of pullback and&nbsp;anytime in recent 10 years?
