Tesla Options Can Hedge Against a Market Meltdown (seekingalpha.com)

I do think TSLA is overvalued and am short it, so far at a loss. But the best ways to "hedge against a market meltdown" are (1) to sell stocks and stock funds, especially in tax-deferred accounts (2) sell stock index futures, provided you understand the math (3) buy SPX or SPY put options

Buying TSLA puts to hedge the stock market incurs a lot of basis risk. You don't know how much TSLA will fall if the S&P 500 falls 20%.
