A good “fable” describing the value of diversification, rebalancing and cooperation is the https://www.farmersfable.org/ showing the effects of uncertainty, diversification and essentially why it makes sense to run a multi-strategy rather than single strategy hedge fund.

Nevertheless, this is a nice illustration of why diversification and cooperation between strategies and portfolios is a positive.
