No kidding, BEARX falls during rising markets. But not like this! BEARX isn't 100% short. BEARX holds cash, BEARX holds fixed income securities, and BEARX holds STOCKS. Nevertheless, in the past year BEARX is down 18% while the SPX is up 15%, the COMP is up 13%. BEARX is doing even WORSE than if it were 100% short the market! Considering the composition of its holdings, it's hard to fathom how BEARX can be down more than 10% in the past year. Rather, it's acting like it's 125% short! Bottom line is, Tice can't pick stocks. Or at least he hasn't shown it in the past year. And the performance since inception isn't much better.
