Thoughts on recent market downturn

Hi monkeys

Obv we know everyone is getting slaughtered in this macro environment. As a newbie with a small retail portfolio, I was wondering how people here are positioning their portfolios around this uncertainty

Some shit I’ve heard in the space to provoke discussion:

• Regardless of whether the tariff threats bear fruit or not, consumer discretionary going to get pummelled.
• Pivot to small cap, emerging markets
• Pivot to value stocks
• Hoard cash or gold as hedge against volatility

Wanna learn how people in the profession think about such macro events and how it flows into their portfolio resizings/reallocations. Please don’t berate me if it’s a stupid question — I’m a newbie. No need for specifics, some colour will do.

Thanks!
