mean while, all their existing investments plummets. Unless you see them pull out of their investments prior to the crisis, there's very little evidence to support this claim that a financial crisis is good for the wealthy.

If the wealthy has any choice, they would overwhelmingly choose not to have a financial crisis.

Short selling and hedging mitigate this risk significantly. It's easier to do this if you have money
