Short indexes via ETF : SKF is a double short of the Dow Jones financials. It has been a bit volitile recently ;-) Also, fees plus "Slippage" run a bit high for every short fund. If the index moves down 20% over 2 months, a short fund might be up only 19% or 19.5% A double short might be up only 37-38 % These are the ProShares Short ETFs. proshares.com What's in the indexes ? Look under "Product Literature" toward the bottom of this page, then see "Perfomance Guide and Index information" (PDF proshares.com They are not the only game in town. ProShares also has mutual funds that are short. Rydex has mutual funds that are short. Barclays has lots of sector funds. ******************** Not a recommendation Your Mileage May Vary Chicken Little was right
