There is also the beauty that many of the best shorts pay no dividends, or minimal dividends, so that expense is very small.

And with BEARX you get a defined risk comparable to what one gets buying and option, plus diiversification across fifty or more short positions.

Many people who try to play the short side--as we all know--get wiped out on temporary reversals.

It would be nice to know what Stagger Lee owns himself, when he bought it, and what he paid for it.
