re: [" I myself would only be tempted to protect my investment with puts if the HUI goes above the upper range."] Puts should be used instead of continually getting getting stopped out and giving back hard earned & hard fought for profits on these rollercoaster 30% correction rides. How much would puts have made, or saved you on this ride? If you don't want to cash out... at least buy insurance. Add some puts each 20 points up... HUI 360, 380, 400. ...beats the hell out of continual stop outs. Or, even better... do both -- take some off the table and buy some insurance via puts. Buy & holders above all others, stand to benefit the most. Put's keep them in the game. Puts smooth out the volatility & eliminate whipsaw. -- puts aren't evil -- puts aren't just for shorts -- puts aren't just for "traders" Puts are the common man's best friend against markets run amok in a world dominated by hyper-manic hedge fund volatility and continual intervention & manipulation. You wouldn't dare leave your home this morning to go to work without your house being insured. You wouldn't dare drive across town without your car being insured. You want your family's health insured. You own gold for insurance against the unknown. Why not insure your portfolio and your gold? PUTS... don't leave home without them.
