People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

It's not a bad question, though. There are strategies to protect your portfolio from economic downturns.
It's something the financial advisor should already be doing, though. Which might be where the frustration comes from.
It could be a bad question (from the client). If they are invested for higher growth, that comes with risk. If they're looking at the their portfolio, seeing a 3% drop in value, and then asking for change it tells me they don't have the right risk tolerance for the investments they have. This may mean either the broker didn't listen to the client when the client told them their risk tolerance, or the client lied with how much risk tolerance they had.
Or the client is reassessing their risk tolerance.
