Probably via a BEARX fund or such. There are funds that are short the market, BEARX being one. Putting your money into it is the same as being short the market. At least that is my understanding....but I have never looked into it. RYDEX has a whole series of funds for different purposes. -Scott

DUDE!!!... You can short just about ANY fund out there...just like a stock!! Call your broker ask them if have funds available to short!! If not...try another firm. BEARX is a short fund that shorts stocks and stuff I believe. So you'd want to be LONG that if you expect the market to move down, etc. I'd bet you could short some of those internet funds too, infact I'll check on that tomorrow. The other ways are with "short" funds that are INVERSE beta's of some of the major indexes see...RYURX and RYAIX from Rydex Funds. They have long and leveraged long funds as well as sector funds. rydexfunds.com If you want BIG leverage see Profunds for both long and short & leveraged long and short funds on the SPX and NDX. profunds.com ps...one word of caution, don't short the NDX when Greenspam cuts rates to save the day. I know this cuz..........
