After Coming Rate Cuts, Some Appealing Short ETFs

There are two very good Bear Market mutual funds as well. These are: 1) Prudent Bear Fund (BEARX). This one shorts some indexes and individual stocks, and also keeps around 15-20% of their money in precious metals stocks; 2) Leuthold's "Grizzly Short" fund (GRZZX), which uses a quantitative methodology to choose its shorts. These actually own short stock positions, not just derivatives. Keep in mind, once you are already have a short position, you can keep it, no one forces you to sell. Of the two, GRZZX has by far had the better year, in fact, I own quite a bit of it and I'd have been sunk with out it!
