[+5] u/Allspread: Have everything invested in bonds, T bills, ETFs, closed end funds, individual equities, keep around 10% total portfolio value jn SWVXX. Trade against portfolio margin keeping notional exposure under 25% of total account value.
The comment recommends keeping ~10% of portfolio in SWVXX (a Schwab money market fund) as a cash buffer. This is a cash‑management strategy, not a directional trade; it implies maintaining liquidity while the rest of the portfolio is diversified across multiple asset classes. SWVXX is essentially a cash equivalent with low risk and low return – no actionable option trade exists here. No counter‑arguments were provided; the advice is highly individual and not a consensus trade.
