Going to be my last reply to you, since continuing is not a good look for you Here's an AI definition. "Equity exposure refers to the percentage or amount of an investment portfolio allocated to stocks (equities), indicating how much of an investor's capital is subject to stock market performance and volatility. It reflects ownership in companies and is a core measure of risk, with higher exposure meaning greater potential gains but also larger potential losses, often adjusted by an investor's age or risk tolerance. Investors manage this by adding or reducing stock investments, using derivatives like options, or shifting between sectors, depending on market outlook and personal goals."

What else do you recommend? Trying to build a more defensive slice in my core allocation with commodities/maybe utilities or healthcare. Oil wasn't a good play, weird how low prices are. I already got some gold but got in pretty late. It does over the very long term outperform silver so i ignored it but now i'm getting fomo.

Could build up an etf portfolio (spy, qqq, a bit of gold, world ex-usa, some dividend etf, just ask on an investing sub) with some of the money and use the rest to play medium term options. 0dtes i would avoid unless you feel it in your bones a stock will dump/rally that day. (And you know when to get out on theta days) So like get started on a 'retirement plan' etf core (also has tax benefits if you don't touch it til retirement) and with the rest buy micron/nvidia/google/qqq/silver/miner leaps to increase the risk/reward without going full degenerate gambler. There are also leveraged etfs which behave a bit like leaps but the volatility dacay eats into them just as much if not more. No premium though, can just jump in and out. The biggest degenerate play would be calls/puts on leveraged etfs for the most stupid leveraged-to-the-tits play. (Don't do that)
