Question: any concerns here about another major correction?

I think that one has to be able to sleep at night and if you are having troubles because you are worried about the market correcting that you need address them. There are numerous ways in which you can do that.

1) raise cash
2) sell some covered calls against your position.
3) short a specific stock
4) buy an ETF that will rise in stocks go down
5) utilize trailing stops on some of your positions

At the present time I am concerned about a significant correction and have sold some covered calls against part of my portfolio. I am probably also going to put in some trailing stops on some of my other positions as well.
