Dale,

You have totally missed the point of Bear Funds. The returns are there if the market goes in the direction that the investor thinks it will go. Basically no investor who chooses to invest in a Bear Fund expects the investment to give a positive return *if the market goes in the opposite direction.* They are choosing to have their investment managed professionally for the predicted conditions, rather than trying to master the arcana of puts and options and the like.

If the market does go in a bearish direction and the investor is correctly bearish, then the fund will yield a good rate of return.

This is now happening for most Bear Funds.
