2. The “Insurance” Exercise

Do you own a stock position you are worried about?

• Open your Paper Trading account.

• Identify the “Strike Price” that would protect your gains.

• Buy the Put and watch how the Delta offsets your stock losses during a dip.

3. Your Next Evolution: The Bear Put Spread

The Long Put is great for a “Crash,” but what if the market just “slowly bleeds” or stays sideways?

• Next Course: The Bear Put Spread Strategy.

• This strategy allows you to reduce the cost of the insurance. 

4. Quant is Your Bear-Market Watchdog

In a fast-moving down market, emotions run high. Use Quant to stay clinical.

🛠️ Stephen’s Graduation Tip:

• Don’t “Hope” for a Crash: Long puts are a decaying asset. If the move doesn’t happen within the first 50% of your time window, consider closing the trade to salvage your remaining time value. Live to fight another day!

Congratulations, Bear Market Strategist!
