When The Market Unravels There Will Be "No Place To Hide"

One of my early memories is from the first day of first grade. It was a summery, sunny day. I colored the apple, traced the “A” and ran to meet my friend at the “mud puddle” in the clearing at the corner of the woods across the street. That clearing became a thicket as I grew up.
We moved into our our neighborhood in 1969, the year it was built. There were children in every house, a cul-de-sac with 17 houses and woods across the street. Kids played in packs with the youngest perhaps 5 years old.

Entering short possitoins NOW doesn’t make sense, everyone agree? Then what is a capital ideally appreciating strategy today? Symbols? Tnx
