I mean...we've seen these massive boom and bust cycles over and over again. So yeah I do sort of expect the Chief Product Officer to have some clue how to handle them. It's not like it was out of the blue.

Handling them is not the same as preventing them.

Handling them means preventing the company from being harmed by them.

To simplify, if you depend on market X then hedging your bet means also profiting if market X collapses.

There are plenty of situations where that is impossible, and the best you can do is minimizing harm.

Fair enough. Don't personally agree but seems I've kicked a hornet's nest here.
