#3Nitpicking, the pandemic was hardly a black swan. People around the world have predicted it since forever, it was only semi-black swan in the amount of preparation for and willingness to deal with it that the US mustered.

Yeap. You’re never « exiting » all the markets. You’re moving from one market to another. Betting on the dollar vs company’s share is one strategy, but i wouldn’t say it’s totally risk-free either in the current environment.

#5Note that while interest rates remain low almost every asset manager is going to remain invested. So are people like Buffet. Invest in Index. Don't pick stocks.

I don't get this. Then no crisis is ever a black swan, as we're always expecting the next one. Financial crises, pandemics, meteorites, terror attacks? All expected.
A black swan must be an event that is unpredictable in the sense that it happens suddenly with little warning signs in the immediately preceding period.

Interesting you should say that. That is exactly my theory as well. If you sell you have to put your capital elsewhere. Historically, interest rates gave a decent return in cash and bonds. That doesn't exist today. That's why you're better off sitting out any falls - as the one in March has shown, they are very short term.

#9Sitting in USD is more risky than tech.
Tech is still the future. Recession isn’t hitting tech as hard as others, recent financial results prove that.
The dollar is being printed on a massive scale. That’s what’s pushing up stocks. It’s not a bubble as much as it is moving the baseline value of stocks relative to USD.
Property will also be going up in the near future (this has already happened in today’s super low interest rate environment). Property historically holds its value; this article reeks of recency bias. Because most investments aren’t doing well now, real estate is an attractive place to park all of those “on paper” printed gains (which are not real gains, of course).

#10Largest analysis mistake here is looking at past events CDOs as mentioned and believing the exact same thing will happen again. The outcome won’t be the same, because if it were to be then the fact that we know the outcome would be the same changes everyone’s investment decisions.
Sitting on cash is almost universally a bad idea in my opinion (more than a few months of emergency or if you are saving for something). It means you think you can predict the market. You can’t.
