tnl: Good question. I often use the QQQ's (a way to short the NASDAQ). Also, with the QQQ's you don't need an up-tick. Jenna continues to make the astute point that if you want to buy a put option, (I sense she does this for trading...so it might not help if you're trying to protect a portfolio) it's best to buy a put that's "in" or very close to being in the money. They tend to move point for point with the stock. Also, if you buy a put you know (going in) the amount you can lose if you're wrong. And of course, put options require far less capital than "shorting" a stock(s). But be very careful with who you deal with. Option firms do not have the greatest reputation on the Street. It's often wise to enter "limit" orders. (Lee)
