Not looking for advice as I am 100% doing this. I am more looking for ideas that aren't obvious. I want to move 20% of my portfolio to something that isn't tracking the broad market. I am thinking a one year CD. Are there any other interesting options out there that would provide some return if the S&P tanks?
I intend to keep 80% tracking the broad market still so not necessarily trying to time the market, but an oil shock seems inevitable so I want to do something.
Best options to go from 100% S&P tracking index fund to 80%

Gold ETF ?
If you’re looking for uncorrelated income, I suggest Pokémon cards 👍
Maybe a total bond market ETF (like VBTLX), specifically in one of your tax-advantaged accounts like IRA or 401k, so you aren’t having to pay taxes when you sell stock to buy bonds, and you aren’t having to pay future interest on the bonds you buy.
