If you want protection from a market correction, but want to still generate some profits without going short, or long consider a balanced portfolio of two slightly negatively correlated but stable ETFs. PBP writes call options and collects premiums to the tune of 4%. MNM holds municiopal bonds which yield about 3.7%. When one goes up the other comes down and so in combination the portfolio is true market neutral with very little volitility.
Historically a 12% variation can be seen, with a few sudden drops and a recovery that takes about a year or so. I recomment stop lossing MLN in case the Fed action does something crazy with this ETF.
