Ah! You think indices are different from stocks too! When I say my models work for market indices, but I doubt they'd work for individual stocks, some people say I must be crazy. But they are very different beasts.

In my strategy, the indices can be used to hedge your portfolio -- say, buy index puts or sell index futures when the scenario looks bearish.

Yes, shorting can make a lot of money fast. But in my years of trading, what's worked best for me is going with a diversified portfolio and knowing when it's wise to hedge, in effect, side-stepping the market dips.
