Play the Bounce to Hedge Your Longs

EEV is the double inverse of emerging markets. As money is pulled out of foreign markets this fund will rise. Specifically, the BRIC stocks are are falling, especially in Russia.
Bear market funds like QID use investments that are inverse to the stock. These funds seem to know how to deal with the short sale restrictions. Most short restrictions are for financial companies, so I would not be concerned about this when selecting a bear market ETF, unless you are looking at a financial sector ETF. I bought EEV and SMN on 10/1 and am very happy with the posative returns. I expect a long term bear, probably through Q2 in June 09.
