Awesome list of resources. There are a few books on here I have not read and will attempt to add to the growing backlog. I always have to echo Rothbard's "America's Great Depression." It's so amazing. Best book on economic history ever written. He takes you through the theory, the objections to the theory, and then the application of the theory in analysis of the most important screw up in American history. You'll never look at economics the same way after reading it.

I'm also a big fan of his "History of Money and Banking". For those that have commutes to work, Mises.org has it available as an audio download.

Great resources. Regarding the DRIP puts, do you think that is the right shorting ETF to use?

I bought some DRIP put options today, only to see DRIP go UP in parallel with USO (!!). That's when I realized to check the underlying index, which is tracking a bunch of oil and gas companies that will probably be affected by the direction of the S&P. Starting to wonder whether it makes sense to continue holding these options due to S&P exposure.

Are there any leveraged short ETFs that offer a cleaner play with direct exposure to oil rather than oil companies?

Thanks for this, I'll bookmark and checkout the links later. I want to continue diversifying with more Austrian informed financial commentary, my background through last year was primarily Peter Schiff (tends to be repetitive as Mannarino, and too focused on bearishness) and Robert Wenzel.
