I am short the market via a couple of Rydex funds, so in my case, the indices are the thing. I concur with your thoughts on the economic picture. As for rising interest rates, I have started looking at some bond short funds, Rydex and ProFund both offer these. ProFund has a leveraged fund in this area, Rising Rates Opportunities (RRPIX). I don't attempt to predict short-term gold movements, but I have an exposure to bullion and shares because I am of the long-term view that the fundamentals for hard assets are good and improving.
