Rydex Funds has a number of inverse funds - RYAIX -Rydex Artos invers Nasdaq 100 RYVNX - 2X inverse Nasdaq RYURX ? Rydex URSA inverse S&P rydexfunds.com What's the catch ? 1) Don't track perfectly - some slippage. 2) Lots of fees and expenses from buying puts etc. 3) ONLY buy /sell at a fixed end of day price. 1& 2 mean you will lose about 4 % a year (maybe 6-7% in 2X) if the index stays flat. So if you think Nasdaq might be down 10% in 6 months, these are not a good vehicle. If you think Nasdaq will be down 25% in three months, they may work for you. BEARX is a more selective bear fund taht shorts specific stocks that Dave Tice thinks will drop.
