Will the  stock market crash again this  year.  What will happen to the stock market in 2011 . Let’s look at how  we handle the possibility of a stock market crash in 2011 and  how we can make money if that happens.

Every time the market has a serious  drop or just a succession of  sessions where the Dow and NASDAQ close lower, the question of a stock market crash comes up. But there is a big difference between a downtrend or sell off and a crash in the market. In fact a serious sell off is  a great opportunity to make money using the right combination of call and put options and ETfs.

Will the market sell off in 2o11?

More than likely we will see several sell offs in 2011.  After all today’s market is very volatile, just take a look at the VIX for the year.  This volatility is achieved by the UPS and DOWNS of the market.  So we are bound to see some sharp rallies and  even steeper  drops  in the market just as a reflection of the inherent volatility of the market. However we as stocks for dummies traders know that any strong move in the market whether up or down is when the real money is made.

Overeas events in Asia or Europe will affect U.S. stock markets and add to volatility of trading especially on the downside. But a stock market crash should not be a worry for  savvy traders because it presents just as much money making opportunities as a stock rally.  You only need to have the right instruments on your portfolio to take advantage of the down cycles of the market.
