What are those “stable investments”?

Investing is easy in hindsight, but the only “stable” asset is cash, and waiting for the entry point can be costly.

Exit: to be clear, I’m a huge diversification advocate. But each crisis (and each bull market) is different and rebalancing is not always helpful.

Stable investments: stocks in profitable companies that pay dividends, rent from property ownership, bonds, etc.
Real estate was down in line with equities in the last crisis, so switching from one to the other was not selling a "stable" asset to buy a "discounted" one.
