    If you think you are close to a top....and its time to get short.... here is an idea...   Go out to dec  and Buy way In THE MONEY puts on the SPY.      For example..   a  160 SPY DEC PUT is around  32.50 with a  92 DElta.       You are losing money if the SPY keeps going up...  and you collect   92 cents/100 as the SPY goes down.      WIth the SPY at 131.30     You are only paying   about 2.80 in time premium..        The advantage you have here is that you can "CASH FLOW" your puts...  for example you can sell the May   1250 puts against them for 1.55... or swing trade the puts depending on the market.      It's not an easy trade....but if the market tanks.. it should be a good hedge.   Just a thought
