    anyone have any suggestions on how to hedge a small / micro cap port.

    i was thinking the IWM?

    thanks
     
  2. Buy some puts? Are you trying to lock in a gain or just protected yourself from downside? Is this because of what is currently going on in the market? At the moment, insurance is a bit expensive. Reduce your exposure to small/micros? Mix your allocation into a relatively uncorrelated asset? Just random thoughts.
     
  3. IWM if you're new to options. Perhaps RUT is you've been around.

    Also, I'll agree the barn door's been open for a few days now and the horses are running all over. You might want to see how this bounce plays out before putting on your position.
