Look at a bear fund, like BEAR X. What is the Stifled Bear-run?

Greg, you said: "Having virtually all funds in Retirement plans, I am not allowed to sell short and cannot take advantage of the drop. If anyone knows how to do this, PLEASE tell me." The Rydex Ursa fund (ticker RYURX) is a good way to short the S&P500 and you can use it in your retirement account.. The Ursa fund's investment objective is to privide investment results that will inversly correlate to the perfomance of the S&P500 index.. I know of no fund (closed end) that shorts the Dow..

Greg, There are a couple of mutual funds I know of that are set up to take advantage of a prolonged slump in stocks. One is called the Prudent Bear Fund (BEARX) which can short stocks and the other is the Rydex Ursa Fund which is set up to go in the opposite direction of the SP 500. Just read the other responses to your question. Guess I was a bit slow on the draw.

Greg thanks for your latest read exchange2000.com ...posted it on Stock Attack. Now got a question for you. "IF the next bear is going to be "normal", then this bull will peak out around the end of the first week of February at a last mighty attempt to break 8000. Could even get as high as 8050 for a few minutes." Your peak for the first of February is within these paramenters.. so looking at your latest forecast...are we in a Stifled-Bear run and is this different that a "normal bull run's finish"...
