I don't do it because I don't pretend to be able to time the market. If I did I would always be fully invested and making money both on the rises and falls. Only naive people think you need a rising market to make money.As far as not knowing what I am talking about, what do you think will happen to an S&P 500 put option if the stock market went down 10%?

You would be buying short term putts like mad and be looking to double your money in 5 days. Given that you are not willing to do that, I am guessing you have very little faith in your predication.
