Well, I mentioned two types of funds. Bear funds like RYVNX, etc, (double inverse of QQQQ) QID, SRS, SDS, etc which I have now sold because you can never tell what all this cash will cause.

But I mentioned the old fashioned closed-end stock funds such as Central Securities, General Americn Investors, etc.

Typically at the end of a bear market they are at discounts up to 25% of NAV. So you can get a boost as the discounts narrow, if it happens. And they can be bought on margin.

But that's looking way ahead. Maybe 2-3 years.

Craziness and chaos ahead right now.

Worst thing about mutual funds is you only get the end of day price imo. With the volatility we've been seeing you could miss out on a whole years worth of typical mutual fund gains by missing an intraday low.
