Why not look into buying puts? The spreads are very tight, and you can really leverage your money big time.
Darwin:
If the Dow and S&P tank, the qqqq will also. They all move hand in hand for the most part. The QQQQ's are very liquid and the spreads are tighter than the other indexes.

Hitman, options isnt something Ive used nor honestly am I knowledgable enough about. I swing a big enough bat that when Im correct I make enough money to make it worth my time.
Even the 12 cents I plucked from the trees today was well worth my time as it was a few k profit for a very short period of risk.
I trade futures sometimes, but mostly commodites futures. When I trade qqqq I just do it via a margin equity account....both long and short side as well as individual stocks.
Darwin, the dow is only 30 stocks and easily held up if only a few companies perform well. Besides, technology is more overbought than many dow stocks, so once market begins tumbling, nasdaq will fall faster and further than dow.
I could short s/p, but I get much better and faster fills trading qqqq than dia or spy.
Im now in bear camp with hitman and will be short again later this week and will post here.

Darwin, I kinda dropped the ball not being short certain subprime lending shares, since I was aware of this problem and figured it would collapse sooner than later.
If major banking stocks start falling like jpm, c, fnm, fre, and others, trust me the entire market will fall apart and short sellers of just about every sector will be making $.
Very tough to get the large bank stocks falling as wall st is in bed with federal government and they know once a panic/fear starts its difficult to end.
Theyve been manipulating these markets for a long time and they arent going to stop anytime soon. However, the more and longer they manipulate markets the longer and more severe the damage will be.
A person not watching these markets daily would think by only listening to these dopes that oil was $15 bucks and other commodities had only increased 5-10% past several years.
The economy is now a one legged stool since housing has been main source of job creation the past several years and many people playing the refinancing mortgage games via bloated real estate prices.
In an inflationary environment like we have today, its tough to get stocks to fall nominally, but real returns are nothing close to what the naked eye is seeing. When markets start falling, the govt simply turns on printing presses and hands these large banks money to keep stocks artificially lifted. Its not a game that can last indefinitely, but one has to be very nimble trying to be a short seller.
Its much easier being long markets than short, but sometimes the best trades are made on short side.

ssi, I cant make a honest call what highs will or will not hold this week, but if market looks wobbly later this week I will be again short. It looked like it was going to fall today so I went short. I did fall but as early afternoon began it didnt look like a big fall so I covered. It did fall more after, but late in day just went sideways.
Too many of the market leaders have started breaking down. However, trust me the federal reserve knows this also and they will print the money needed in their best efforts to prevent the market from collapsing.
They can print all the money they want and thats why Ive owned precious metals for more than 5 years, since their games are exposed via pm and various other commodities rising.
Hitman, your thoughts about this would be appreciated.

hno:
wall st is in bed with fed reserve so whatever funds they need to prevent a 1987 type single day crash they will receive.
for many years now we have lacked real volatility in this market.
saw a chance to scalp a trade on long side so thats what ive done.
market will correct this spring, but thats long overdue.
getting some decent volatility in gold today...was down over 7 bucks this am and now its higher, so some people must have real panic for that to occur. banks and wall st cant stand a rising gold price.
gold was up over 20bucks last wed and that type of rise has only occurred a few times in past 20+ years.
have dr appt this afternoon so booked goog profit at 457.20
