The traditional wisdom was adding gold because it usually went up when the markets fell, but this doesn't really happen these days (at least in the past year I've monitored). What should be added to a portfolio to push against market drops, even if they might pull from earnings during good times? I was thinking on adding something like Small-Cap-Bear-3x that sits at about 5% of my holdings during periods of uncertainly. Of course during clearer skies I'd scale it back to reduce drag. Thoughts on this?
