I'd just rather be a little bit early when buying protection rather than late because when profit taking starts in ernest I think it's going to be a rapid descent whether it's tomorrow, right after the mid-term elections, or two months from now. Inverse funds don't have the huge "time decay" of put options so since timing is still cloudy, that's why I recommend considering inverse funds now. Frank,

I think this will be seasonal again, with the correction coming after the holidays at the earliest. I think the market rally will still have some legs for the balance of the 4th quarter.
