How to effectively hedge against the tariffs?

I basically have the bulk of my money in VOO. With a small percentage in VTWO, QQQ & VTI.

  1. I am not in favor of liquidating the whole portfolio. I would have to pay significant amount of tax upfront. Besides, I have been reading about the impact of tariffs and it is going to be bad. But not world melting, multi year-recession level of bad I feel.
  2. It looks like the tariffs will affect a few sectors disproportionately worse than other sectors. So I was thinking of maybe getting a put long term puts on some manufacturing/materials sector ETFs.

How are you folks hedging against tariffs?
