1/2 gold bullion, 1/4 SDS, 1/4 long dated SPY poots. About as basic a strategy as there is. You could embellish it by adding some oil futures with the bullion, or other indices on the short side. The nice thing about SDS is the slippage isn't too onerous, and it can only go to zero. So if gold goes to 3000 in a hyperinflationary inferno, at least you've gained something (and who knows, stocks may not skyrocket in that scenario after all. They certainly didn't in the 70's......)
