DJX puts
You can damn near double (but not quite) your money on a DJX sept bear put spread even if the market is flat from now to sept.

long DJX 106 sept put - short DJX 100 sept put
Of course one could leg into it too hoping for dowside action first, but if up action came first one could take off the short puts for a profit and hope for a return to the expected down

one could aslo try something like a 106 sept and a 100 july combo.
That combo would pay in spades if we were more or less flat to -200 between now and july and then collapsed.
