Its just buying different shit. You might pick up some stocks from some different sectors, maybe some bonds, some commodities, etc.

The issue right now is that everything is tanking.

Even with everything tanking, it’s impressively bad investing to lose 100% of your investments on a <15% overall stock market downturn.

That's what options are for!

Ah that'll be it. They've gambled their entire portfolio (if you can even call it that) on a bunch of put options that suddenly became impossible to fill the moment the market rebounded. 5-dimensional chess move.
