Good illustration that if you don't defend yoursfelf the black swan will come and get you hard!

Although a in a market situation a Black Swan would probably require much more than a golf club to defend yourself...
That is unless you are not well positioned to take advantage of these black swans ;-)

Trend Following might be a good way and I believe the Timing model draws a lot from it...
