Let me get this straight. You want people who hold stocks like BHP to sell puts? Have you looked at the chart lately? It's a mania chart in full plummet mode.

We all know the US markets are going to crash. It may be that no one solution works for all cases. Own physical metal in case we replay Weimar (and we are going in that direction quickly with the likely nationalization of fannie and freddie). At the same time, short the market and by deep out of the money puts in case they save the USD and "just" end up with a deflationary crash like 1929. If we get a deflationary depression as some suggest, you win coming and going with this strategy.

But I would not go long foreign anything right now. We own the worlds reserve currency. As we crash, they crash by association until everyone cuts the USD out of their lives. We are everywhere in everything so that could take a lot longer to happen than most people think.
