In less than three months, and not even counting the past few days, the Dow has had six big swings averaging more than 1,000 points each — one of them occurred in a single day.

In trademark fashion, the media blamed the bad days on everything from the Gulf oil spill to Greek debt to a "fat-finger" trader glitch to a double-dip recession to lackluster earnings. And they credited the good days to the same list of items "not looking as bad"!
On the other hand, a small group of investors were prepared for this very environment. They positioned themselves for safety and insulated themselves from risk.
