Skeeter, forget about a short mutual fund. If you want to short the big five (and smaller 95), just short QQQ, the new Nasdaq 100 tracking stock.

You get to be short MSFT, INTC, DELL, CSCO, WCOM, and 95 others.

Benefits: trades intraday, very liquid, no downtick needed (can be shorted anytime you so desire).

Of course, you do need Big Kahunas to take this one home overnight <g>.

Skeet.
Buy AMZN, AOL and sell covered calls 50% ITM.
You will make about 3% on the calls and if they drop 50%, you can rest a sure the BTD will bid them up for you.
