2025-04-03 09:44:34 ET

Summary

• Sell half of your holdings in high-risk categories like quantum computing, bitcoin mining, engine leasing, cryptocurrencies, and mega cap tech stocks to mitigate potential 2025 downturns.
• Use proceeds to deleverage by paying down high-interest debt and consider safer investments like treasuries or Box spreads while awaiting better opportunities.
• Diversify out of US dollars and consider safer havens for assets and residence, such as Oceania, to protect against economic instability and geopolitical risks.
• Be cautious of asset price inflation since the 2007-2008 financial crisis; these recommendations may be early or wrong, but a Plan B is essential.

Sell ½ (or Short)

For 2025, don’t buy SPY ; if you’re long, sell half and keep plenty of dry powder. Parts of today’s market combine a high price with euphoric sentiment.

If you’re in, consider selling half…

Sell (half) of your SPDRs . Use the proceeds to deleverage, paying down any bad debt. Start with the highest rates; don’t borrow anything that costs over 10% and question borrowing anything that costs over 5%...

Sell half of any long or consider shorting these categories including specific examples such as QUBT , MARA , RIOT , FTAI , FTT-USD , and SPY . You can earn over 4% in treasuries or Box spreads ( BOXX ) as you await better opportunities. Certain markets appear expensive and precarious; time to resize.
