The charts suggest that volatility is going to ramp up. Investors should ensure that their portfolio components can take advantage of volatility rather than participate in the negative price trend.
My own portfolio feels appropriately sheltered against this, but we will see if it takes any collateral damage. In particular, one company that I own (the one with the highest concentration currently in my portfolio) takes direct advantage of profiting from volatility so we will see if this proves to be an adequate hedge.
