Oli, getting back to your great call. To tell someone to sell all long tern holdings seems like a very irresponsible call. Certain stocks should not have been sold like defensive ones. Also someone selling long term holdings would be subject to capital gains taxes. Buying a put would have been a reasonable insurance against stocks owned by someone. Some type of hedge would have been something a sane person would have done. To tell someone to sell all long term holdings is something you would expect a daytrader to make.
