Can you follow up on the conversation CB, Earlie and Mary Cluney are having. Mary is showing a genuine interest in finding out practical steps to be taken to protect herself if the bear comes. Could you please offer the thread a 10 or 20 step program, assuming someone is heavily invested in Large Cap Growth US equities, with the steps proceeding from least to most aggressive.

I will throw out a few ideas (and let you offer the real thing!).

1. Keep your stock, buy some puts.
2. Sell most (all?) of these stocks. [Mary: Investing in money market earning 5% doesn't look too slick now; 1 year from now, earning 5% while the market has dropped 30% will look make you look like a gneius]
3. Hedge against inflation and sinking dollar. (Buy CEFs of beaten down countries; buy natural resource stocks including oil, gold, etc.)
4. Buy nekkid puts on the "bloated ones"

Thanks

Mike
