The Second Leg Down
Historical back tests and scenario diagrams illustrate a variety of strategies for offsetting portfolio risks with after-the-fact options hedging, and the discussion explores how a mixture of trend following and contrarian futures strategies can be beneficial. Without a rational analysis-based approach, investors often find themselves having to cut risk and buy protection just as options are at their most over-priced. The Second Leg Down offers in-depth insight into surviving in a volatile environment. It provides practical strategies, expert analysis, and the knowledge base to assist you in recovering your portfolio.

This book shows you how to salvage the situation, with strategies backed by expert analysis.
