+1. I endorse the long-maturity US treasuries as a safe-haven asset. Especially if options are not an option. In a potential bear market, safe-havens are generally preferable to shorting a stock index, which is the wrong side of risk.
Everything dropped in the Corona Crash because brokers got scared and demanded more margin, so everybody had to come up with liquidity quickly. But then the treasuries recovered even faster than the stocks because of the flight to safety. That would have been a good opportunity to rebalance a stock/treasury portfolio and get the stock market on sale.
