Over the past 18 months, we've watched the S&P 500 plunge precipitously before staging a 60% comeback. Previously stalwart institutions like Citigroup (NYSE:C) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) were crushed before rising from the ashes, while even stocks that had limited exposure to the financial crisis -- the Procter & Gambles (NYSE:PG) and Coca-Colas (NYSE:KO) of the world -- have also been tossed around by fear and greed.
It's enough to make us ask what tools we should be using to exploit this crazy market.
