Hi Ron, RYURX is designed to be an exact "mirror" of the S&P 500. If you want more bang for your buck, BEARX is better: tscn.com Best regards, John.

Why not just short SPY instead? David

Well, that depends. Knowing that just a few big companies make up the largest proportion of the SPX (like MSFT, DELL, INTC, and CSCO), it will take quite a bit to have a substantial reward in either the RYURX or shorting the SPX. There may be more money to be made just buying puts on some the individual members of the index that are drastically overvalued, or just shorting AMZN sometime soon. But there is no doubt that this is a money driven market and as long as the Fed keeps pumping liquidity into it some of the technical analysis will be artificially skewed. Hmmm...... Regards, Ron
