I think what you've written just highlights the perpetually cyclical nature of capital markets. "This time it's different" is always the most dangerous phrase.
Essentially a "winning strategy" works until a reversal in a major market index (Nikkei, NASDAQ, S&P500 etc...)
So the question is that - what survived the rout of 2021-2? What "held up" between Oct 2021 - Dec 2022 has a high likelihood of being the next "winning trade".

Yes it does seem that the Hedge in Hedge Fund was silent at times or at least optional.
