Hi JD, First, there was some screwed up price change mistakenly recorded for the BEARX fund yesterday. I think Yahoo showed -.45 when in fact the figure was -.04. As far as performance, the best way to rate the BEARX fund is to compare it with RYURX, the Rydex Ursa fund, a fund that is designed to mirror the S&P 500 index. Here's a 2-year comparison: tscn.com So, it looks like BEARX is using more leverage than RYURX. BEARX seems to outperform in a CRASH, but underperform (it suffers more than RYURX) when the market rises. In the end, you still end up with a timing challenge . . . It's usually no fun being a bear. -g- Best regards, JDinSaratoga
