Best hedges against market crashes?

[Ax6isB]

I’ve been learning about puts however I don’t have the ability to buy options via my US based accounts due to being overseas. They seem useful as a hedge with limited exposure. Perhaps someone has experience using these.

You're right. Actually I forgot to add OPTIONS as a hedge in the poll. Buying puts are definitely good hedges against market crashes.

I was also thinking of getting into COVERED CALLS to generate some passive income. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/co ... e%20stream.

I have some sort of strategy for covered calls but I don't know where to get these. Anyone using covered calls in Japan on Rakuten / SBI / Monex etc?

You can only trade Japanese options with Japanese brokers.

If you want International Options you need to go with IBKR or Saxxo.

As far as options as a hedge, I would prefer it if the majority of my hedges didn`t expire worthless, as happens with most options.

If you really want a hedge there is always leverage ETFs....

But if you are holding diversified indexes or quality companies time heals all.
