I've been actively managing my portfolio for almost three years. Currently, I'm sitting 100% in cash –– and have been all year.

But I'm considering dipping my toes in with small swing trade experiments.

Here's my latest idea:

I'm considering buying/selling a stock all the way down its supply chain.

For ex:

If I short $APPL in the event of a recession, I will also short the consumer discretionary sector, the distributors, the producers, and the raw materials that make Apple products (probably via ETFs but maybe the individual companies...unsure).

Is this a thing that others already do? Or is this a dumb idea? I'm currently studying the supply chain and this investing idea popped into my head.

Let me know your thoughts. Thx,
