My stocks are down 40-60%, I don't even bother looking any more. I have a modest amount of cash (I don't spend my entire salary) with which I don't know what to do. I'm ready to bet on further falls in stocks, but we don't have short-selling on the local bourse.

I was looking into derivatives, there seems to be a huge European market with all sorts of exotic options such as leveraged short selling and the like. The problem is, I have no experience at it and I fear manipulation by the issuers so I'm reluctant to join the fray.
