Snicker. He doesn’t care what portfolio you use if you subscribe to one of his services.
This guy has been saying this for years and years.
Here’s a column from 2015: https://www.hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc150302.htm

Good thing most people ignored him because the Dow closed on the day of the article at 17,685.09
Close on 11/30/18 was 25,538.46
That’s a 44.4% gain in 3 years 8 months.

If you listen to this kind of advise you sit on the sidelines trying to time when to buy back in and there is always another crow cawing that the market will tank soon.

Most of the crashes are less than 20% and certainly less than 44% so riding out the dips is more prudent. The market is not the place for money you can’t wait out a dip for 6 months or more with in any case.

Most Bull markets climb a “Wall of Worry”
and peak when optimism is highest.
