Bear Market Trading Strategies: How are You Trading it?

I'd really like to see how you are trading during down markets ... buying puts, vix calls, intraday or swing shorts etc ... post your thoughts, or even better P&L screencaps like this:

I bought inverse etfs/etns like these last week, on friday 2/21 my positions were:

today premkt 2/24 i sold partials to lock in profit:

i'll be rebuying shares in most of these in-mkt today to scale back in; i sold a bit premkt in case they drop, since big profitable gaps up like TVIX, my fave; closed fri at 47 now at 58, epic win :)

Keep swinging. That trip to Disney World isn't such a pipe dream any more.
