It's important to understand that correlations are not constant. The same two assets may trend in opposite directions for a long time-even a decade or more-then move hand-in-hand with each other for a time, and then behave independently.

Zone 2 is one of five levels of intensity used by coaches and trainers in endurance sports. Some models have five zones, but others have six or seven. Typically, zone 1 is a walk in the park and zone 5 (or 6, or 7) is an all-out sprint. Zone 2 is more or less the same in all training models: going at a speed slow enough that one can still maintain a conversation but fast enough that the conversation might be a little strained. Zone 2 is a powerful mediator of metabolic health and glucose homeostasis. For some people, a brisk walk might get them into zone 2; for those in better condition, zone 2 means walking uphill. [2023] - Peter Attia
