Another alternative would be to sell some out of the money leaps. Get some protection at least. I was amazed that i was able to buy Jan leap puts on JOE yesterday for a very cheap price. The key, IMO, is that inventory levels are accelerating in most(if not all) of the hot markets at all time records. The rate of change in inventory levels is staggering. Never seen anything like it. Perhaps it has to do with the internet. We've never seen a real estate market that had traded with the information aspects available through the internet. Basically, buyers and sellers can get darn near real time info on sales figures. That used to come through hand compilation and books, which were always months behind what was going on. At any rate, inventory is approaching the glut stage and will take years to work off. This always brings on price corrections.
