Dale, re the hedging of portfolios

Several weeks ago when our portfolios were looking a lot more healthy than they are today, I sought to get a discussion going on this thread regarding portfolio protection. I did not find much interest among the participants. I will state that I did receive several private messages expressing some interest in the subject.

The last thing that I want to do is contribute to thread bloat or for that matter discuss a subject that is not of interest to other participants. However, I know based on private messages from you (and one other person on this thread) have, in the past day or two, indicated an interest in exploring strategies for dealing with portfolio protection and hedging techniques. For my part, I do not view the employment of these strategies as being inherently contradictory to the gorilla gaming concept or for that matter any ltb&h approach. I wish I had been adequately hedged through this decline -- it would have given me the courage to add to my holdings on a day like this when some stocks were being sold at fire-sale prices.

If there is sufficient interest on the thread I would like to discuss it here -- especially since we have some fairly astute individuals who participate on this thread. Alternatively, if the consensus is that this is not a subject appropriate for this thread, I would be pleased to participate with you and any one else who may be interested, in some other forum.

I hasten to add that I do not have a ready solution to this issue.
