I recently wrote an article titled defensive investing where I outlined the basics of defensive investing. This article goes more in depth. I’m going to list the defensive and offensive strategies with investing below and then list applicable examples.
Defensive strategies

- Index Funds
- Large Cap Stocks
- Leverage products to the upside
- Long call options/Options to the upside
- Buying 25 to 75% off the all time high
- Diversified portfolio
- Dollar cost averaging
Offensive Strategies

- Leveraged Products to the downside
- Put options/Options to the downside
- Concentrated portfolio
