Stick 8% of it in an ultrashort ETF, such as SMN

(disclaimer: I have an exposure to SMN.)

ultrashort ETF

If it's going down, shorting the ultralong would be better. The ultra ETFs have a terrible track record no matter ultrashort or ultralong. They don't actually short but use high cost derivatives and leverage.
