Buy 8 December, 2012 (IWM) $78 Puts at?????$3.10

I?m going to a fully delta neutral position on my (IWM) January $76-80 bull call spread by buying more December $78 puts against them. It?s not a great entry point, but it?s the only way to stop the bleeding. The market is trading like grim death here, with a total inability to rally. This hedge should eliminate any further erosion in the value of the long (IWM) long position for the time being.
