Planned, Cautious Buying Amidst This Panicked Selling

I think what they mean by buy low and sell high is, after a ridiculous fall, it is bound to rise back some, even if it falls lower within the next few days, and after rise without reason, well it is going to fall, the problem is forcing yourself to lock in a gain, any gain before the market falls again, either way you can do better than break even by buying in ultra short as long as you hold more than half your diversified portfolio in cash for when market freaks out for clearly no reason, and it will, so if you go long, the easy choice right now is shorts for winter.

How to Construct a Deflation Proof Portfolio

Thanks for your comments, my portfolio is similar to what you list here, my only fear is that it seems to be too obvious, for example even the ultimate diversification of 1 to 1 oil share vs an inverse oil appears to post a 5-7% gain, just sell high everyday and you could lock that much daily without the 15-20% risk everyone else is taking. I'm only hoping congress won't find a way to stop us from buying ultra-short stocks like they are trying to stop shorts. The ignorance of the average millionaire/billionair... investor never ceases to amaze me.
