Shamsaee, My portfolio is(was) at a point, where I need to protect it to a certain extent. My suggestion is that if you're like me and can't sleep at night knowing that you'll relatively soon need a certain portion of your portfolio, simply take it out of the stock market and have a good night's sleep. --Mike Buckley

I've found that "LEAPs Replacement" has worked for me in this instance. What I mean by that is taking some money off the table in the stock that you are worried about and buying Leaps as proxies when things get a little dicey. A kind of scaled back long. It's not for everyone and obviously you have to get beyond other issues such as account type, vol, your outlook, time horizon, etc.
