Best way to hedge your self overnight

I have been thinking about this and was curious if anyone has any suggestions for the best way to put on a hedge in an overnight market should some major event occur while us markets are closed.

Any thoughts...

Yes.
Close out at or before EOD.
No overnight position.

lol... I actually hold all positions for weeks at a time...
 
Quote from mahras2:

Carry long OTM puts/calls (+vega) may be one possibility.

Thats one way... How about shorting asian or EU index futures in real time after a disaster... Any thoughts on which ones and ratios etc...

Whats the rational for shorting EU/Asia indices? Typically everything moves in lockstep.

Actually, another interesting position would be to go long/hold CHF (Swiss Francs) denominated positions. Historically Switzerland is a neutral nation thus during times of crises you see strong CHF buying. Last time I saw this occuring is during the London train bombings.
