As promised in my last two posts, Alternate Short Strategy: Purchasing Put Protection for Less, and Alternate Short Strategy: Purchasing Put Protection for Less Part 2 I will be continuing my list of alternate ways to hedge your portfolio without shorting the stock. To conclude my list, in this post (part 3) I will be covering the stocks ranked from 36 to 50 on the list of 50 (ranked from greatest to least by market cap).

To reiterate my two previous posts: I believe the market is due for a pull back, so it may be a good time to purchase put protection on some of your long positions. I decided to write about the 50 largest stocks (by market cap) in the S&P 500 and give a put protection strategy for each of them. To get a detailed spreadsheet of all 500 stocks, which will allow you to rank them based on their market cap minute by minute with the click of a mouse check out my blog post here. http://optionmaestro.blogspot.com
