BEARX does provide complete lists of its holdings when it issues reports, but since it is a very actively traded fund the portfolio changes. I constructed a dummy based on what was there Sept 30 and will post its status for today in a minute.

I don't know any mutual funds that make available day by day portfolio contents. But BEARX is a small fund (about $25 million) and the short positions are spread in small positions across 80 stocks. Trying to work some sort of arbitrage against the fund would be a nightmare.

My dummy of BEARX shows its shorts gaining 2% at the moment. But that's only a very loose indicator of what the actual fund value is doing--with its puts and its new positions.
