>You can hedge with PUTS
Alas can't - employer prohibits any use of derivatives.
Plus my last adventure down that lane didn't go great. (Some big wins, some big losses and a realisation that I better leave things I don't fully understand alone - like the options greeks).
Of course you have to do whatever makes sense for you, but nothing is stopping you (or anyone) from spinning up a Fidelity account and hedging against whatever is driving your 401k, etc. Portfolios don't have to exist as monoliths.
