I have a modest bet in against Chinese stocks, using puts on FXI that don't expire until January 2009. I suppose the dot.com/tech stock bubble and crash was quite an event for some people, and in fact I made a good deal of money repeatedly shorting and covering QQQQ. But there has not been a real, lasting, general bear market since the 1970s. For the last ten years, every time a bear market has started, the Fed has reflexively provided almost unlimited cheap credit, a process that largely accounts for the housing market bubble that is currently deflating.
