RE: "and also hold BEARX, which has a diversified portfolio of what they judge to be overvalued stocks."

I assume that they are short the overvalued stocks. Is that correct?

About Prudent Bear and other "hedge" funds:

Your risk is limited to your investment, but their ability to short could be also limited. At least for some of them short positions are limited to 25% by law. Additionally, they usally can't short very small companies (not enough shares to borrow). If you really believe that bear market is coming, you are in much better position.

Several "hedge" funds were discussed in last "Individual Investor" (November) (phone numbers provided).
