Honestly though, I'm not sure what she should have done differently. Her funds are pretty transparently about making wild speculative bets and that's the branding she's known for. People piled in on the hopes that her speculative bets would continue to pan out as they did before.
Like, sure, if she'd been able to, she could have saved her investors a lot of money if she sold everything last year and held cash, with each of her ETFs remaining frozen near the top. But that would defeat the purpose of having ETFs open to public investors. And maybe so would buying instruments that hedge against declines in her picks.
Yeah investors who piled into her fund near the top got burned but it's not like they got bait-and-switched.
