Understanding that you can make money in DOWN markets just as much, and sometimes even more, as you can in UP markets is important if you want to be a successful investor.
One popular vehicle to use in DOWN markets are ETFs that SHORT the Markets.. They can be used for both Short-Term and Long-Term DOWN markets since they do not have an expiration date like Options
When you feel the Markets are ready for a Sell Off, you can BUY any of the ETFs listed below that mirror the Dow, S&P and NASDAQ. Or you can select specific Sectors you feel are ready to decline. There are also ETFs that SHORT Treasuries and Countries like Japan and China.

How They Work - You will BUY the SHORT ETF at it's current price and when the market that it is related to moves DOWN in price, the ETF will move UP in price. If the ETF is a 100% Leveraged ETF, it should move around a 1 to 1 price relationship to the underlying market. As example, in theory, if the Dow move down 5%, the ETF that SHORTS the Dow should move up 5% in price. There are some ETFs that move TWICE as much as the underlying market which are listed below as 200% Leverage.
ETFs that SHORT the Markets have RISK...and you need to review them with your Investment Advisor before you use them. Stop loss orders should also be a part of your participation in ETFs.

(1) - Please note that the "% Leverage" refers to how much the ETF resembles the underlying Market Sector. A 100% Leverage means the ETF mirrors the underlying Market by 1 to 1. 200% Leverage means the ETF will move by TWICE the underlying and 300% means the ETF will move by 3 TIMES the underlying. Always be careful when using ETFs that SHORT markets, especially the 200% and 300% Leveraged ETFs. When you BUY an ETF that SHORTS the Markets, as the Markets go down in Price, the SHORT ETF will go UP in Price.
