Michael Young writes an informative and easy to understand book about the Bear Ratio Spread, a strategy used by market traders.  A Bear Ratio Spread consists of buying ATM put options and selling more OTM put options, the ration of which depends on the objective of the trader.  Objectives are categorized in 3 ways; Bear Debit Ratio Spread, Bear Free Ratio Spread and Bear Credit Ratio Spread.  This strategy is used in a Bearish market when the trader feels that an asset will fall to a certain price.  The Bear Ratio is more complex than the Bear Put in that it involves option writing.  With this strategy profit can be made if the price rises, falls or stays the same.
