So that one could use this slowly changing sentiment to time buying inverse ETF's or Index Puts?

You could, but there is a heighten risk there. You don't need to make money in both bear and bull markets. Sitting out bear markets is good enough.

I follow one advisor who specializes in CEFs & ETFs, who also is quick to grab inverse ETFs when the market has a blip down. So far, in the last 2 years every one of those has been a loser.
