How to make money in a down market?

[Tyler Durden]

I'm not looking for specific step to step advice, I just wanted to seek out ideas so I could research further.

The only way I know is shorting, but I'm sure there are others?

- Buy put options
- Sell call options
- Buy inverse ETF
- Buy VIX index/ETF
- Buy commodities unrelated to overall market
- Buy treasury bonds
- Buy $USD or JPY
- Pairs trade arbitrage
- Buy short term rallies
