There are far easier and less intricate ways to accomplish that today, such as using exchange-traded funds (ETFs), particularly inverse ETFs like ProShares Short Dow30 (DOG) or the ProShares Short S&P500 (SH).

Given the overall lack of inflation and low-quality job market, as well as the aforementioned slower Chinese and euro-zone economies, I continue to see a longer runway than most until the Fed has to boost rates.
