One strategy is to go to money market, wait for the bottom and when the market starts to recover, buy back in.
Another strategy is to buy put options. Check out Optionsxpress.com. They can educate you and set up an account. Puts make money when a stock drops. And when a stock drops, it can drop fast, so big money is available in bear markets.

i would buy etf's that short the market. examples DXD shorts the dow 30 at 2 to 1; MZZ shorts the midcap 400, also at 2 to 1 (if the dow or midcaps, or whatever goes down 5%, these etf's will go UP in value by 10%). some other 2 to 1 leveraged short funds are: QID - shorts the QQQQ, SDS - shorts the S & P, SDD - shorts the smallcap 600, and TWM - shorts the Russell 2000. there are a lot of others that short sectors or indexs on a 1 to 1 ratio, also.

If you could predict the future and know where to put it before it occurs, then in a bank money market fund (they pay better than the mutual fund variety right now).
If the market tanks, then it is too late and you should not leave the market as you should then be buying.

Just a guess; If I had 10 g to play with then the comodity markets. The problem is with so many institutions vying for fractions of a percent, is that all we're left with is good ol home grown knowlege. Stick to what your familier with and try to "buy" some knowlege. Corporations have been at this game for some time buying the latest "Object" buy hiring someone tied to it.

you sell stocks short. just as much money can be made when the market goes down as when it goes up.

Stocks.
You really need to buy the Blu-Ray "Casino Royale" starring Daniel Craig if you want to learn what is a short sale.
