Using ETFs to Get Short in this Volatile Market

SP600 has been stronger than the Ru2000. Why choose it?

TWM, 2x inverse Russell 2000, was up 3% while the index was down 2%, and down 5% while the index was up 2%. Then, later in the day BOTH index and inverse ETF were negative. SDD was behaving simililarly. That's not good.
