No, because BEARX is into more volatile issues than Rydex Ursa, it can probably go higher in a bear market. But either one of them is only a prelude to a cash position. Cash is by far the best way to ride out a protracted bear market. You have such peace of mind that it's easy to wait and eventually take advantage of the bargains that crop up.It's like holding your breath and ducking under a huge breaking wave--if you have ever done that. A lot of people who imagine themselves bears will go broke trying to profit short term on the way down.
