Well, BEARX still underperforming the 'inverse NASDAQ'. At least BEARX is in the green today. I should have just sold some index call options short. I'm in this fund because I don't have the resources to short individual stocks and felt the diversification that his fund would provide would lessen any negative impact of an individual stock Well, that's a pretty good reason. I plan on sticking with BEARX a few months though. So far I think I would have done better on my own.
