I just checked with my broker....they carry BEARX and USPIX.....both Naz 100 small cap funds, but USPIX has a lower expense ratio, which really don't mean that much, but BEARX is positive. I should back test some funds to see how they did on the charts when the market got crushed. Either way the market is getting toppy so it's time to look out for my IRA....I rcently closed all my tech stock positions and I'm sitting on cash.

I just finished reading this entire thread. It was very enlightening. You've had a wild ride on BEARX.... I looked into the ProFunds as you suggested, I was surprised by their options.....the 1.5x leveraged Semiconductor fund is up huge this year.....so as they say, "what goes up must come down." ProFunds 2x leveraged USPIX fund is looking good for a contrarian play....it's anout 75% in Tech. Now it's a matter of timing the entry....Dec and Jan are usually bullish, but with all the turmoil overseas, it won't take much to negate that tradition.
