I remember thinking the same about BEARX - that was basically under performing the 'inverse NASDAQ'. I think part of the problem is gold and gold stocks still get no respect even in the face of a major market decline (an in fact are still in a down-tread).

I've been benchmarking BEARX against MERFX. MERFX is a fairly market neutral fund involved with merger arbitrage and has been doing relatively great this year.

The problem with shorting the market is I evidently can't time the market will enough to really profit from it.
