Taleb-style construction — a very safe core paired with a smaller, higher-conviction risky satellite, deliberately skipping the moderate middle.

    The starting 25/25/25/25 is the muddled moderate split the barbell approach is built to avoid, so we're resizing to a genuine ~78% safe core and ~22% high-conviction satellite. Within the core, we tilt cash over duration-heavy because rising 10Y yields (+8.15% 1M), a Fed split on further hikes, and tightening financial conditions (+0.055 4w) are actively hurting long treasuries ( -4.34% 1M). The satellite stays small and leans slightly toward commodities given sticky 3.4% CPI, tariff-driven inflation pressure, and Mideast oil-strike headlines, while equities get a modest allocation given fear-level sentiment (38/100), weak breadth (38% above 50dma), and tech-led softness.”,
