Jumper, I don't think you can characterize BEARX (which I've been slowly accumulating more of) as a 150% leveraged short position (although I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that.... presumably something like putting up $100,000 worth of your own cash, then shorting $150,000 worth of stock in your margin account). BEARX has long positions as well as cash and shorts; I do not think it goes up 1.5 times as fast as an index of the stocks it shorts goes down. More like something close to, but less than, 1x such an index, I'd guess. Tommaso on the Prudent Bear thread might be able to be more precise. Cheers, HB
