Hi DJ, <<... you just hedge by ie keeping out of cross-hairs (Pt, Au, Aus$...). What about returning fire with some straight shorts or nice leap puts on GE, C, JPM, INTC, MSFT. oh well, make it SnP500 & NAZ?>> At the end of a bear market, all the bulls and half of the bears will be dead. I did close out my long RDN August put position at a profit. I do not buy options very often. I do not have the stomach for the extra layer of risk associated with the ticking of the clock. If I do not suffer a 1% loss from nest egg well, then buying enough puts to make a difference would be like drinking laced Kool Aids. Watching the slaughter is exciting enough;0) Chugs, Jay
