Diversifying intelligently means creating a series of broad "safety nets" by using different asset classes, some of which are most useful in bull markets, others in bear markets.
Non-market-sensitive assets will get you off the up-down, make it-give it back roller coaster ride most investors experience. The foundation of Shaefer's investing pyramid is comprised of assets that are intentionally poorly correlated with the indexes.
Sometimes it pays to take a deep breath and step aside from market turmoil using safer approaches than you might at a different time in the market cycle.
