Right. They hold cash in T-bills as security against their large short position. The value of the fund fluctuates according to mark-to-market activity back and forth. When the market fell about 6%, BEARX went up about 11%. Usually it's not that dramatic. The fund was started in a rising market so naturally it's had a bad record for its first eighteen months or so. To my mind that makes it a good buy.

But if the stock market goes to glory, Prudent Bear goes to hell.
