Key Insights

Bullish:

  • 🟒 $BARBELL - Recommends seeking beta-agnostic returns as a strategy to navigate uncertain market conditions, with potential returns of 3% to 6.5%.
    • β€œSo my recession risk has gone from 10% to 25% to 30%. So it's it's not dominant, but it is a fatter tail than it was before. Some people are at 20, some people at 70. And that goes back to where you believe this bumpy journey is leading to. That is the key question that you've got to figure out if you're asset allocating. Now if you are not willing to make that call, the answer isn't to go neutral to sixty forty. The answer is to go barbelled. Go into as beta agnostic returns as you can find. And there's actually lots of beta agnostic returns where you can generate from three to six, six and a half percent. And then on the other side, go to tactical and opportunistic because you're gonna get a ton of volatility, and you're gonna get a ton of attractive entry points. And don't get stuck in the muddled middle where you really are having to make a call about something that's really uncertain, which is the destination. So, you know, become more barbelled as opposed to trying to stay in here and be really exposed to something that I don't think any of us know for sure.” - Mohamed (38:04)
