Re: EFT's For Shorting the Market
I have been watching these myself lately and I am of the same opinion. You can get some nice swings with these and go long on the sucker rallies. It

Re: EFT's For Shorting the Market
I have been watching SKF for a while now.
SKF is -2X and UYG is 2X the financial sector.
I believe I heard that out of the last 11 days, 9 have been positive. I think we are on schedule for a fall soon. Anyone concur?
Also, I started watching SKF at about $180/$190, it went to $300 in a couple of days when the financials crashed, with Citigroup leading the crash! It is at $103 in after hours, I have never seen it this low.
To give an idea of how this stock performs, last Monday, when it was officially announced that we are in a recession and the DOW lost 700 points, SKF went up 30%.

It looks like it might do something but what is the question. The gap has not been filled yet but it may never get filled. The MACD does not look too promising. Slow stokes looks...???? I would rather be long then short right now but that is considering that I can not manage the trade actively. I have to use stops and limits. That makes for some sloppy entries and exits.

Re: EFT's For Shorting the Market
Im looking at some June 45-49 calls on TBT. The treasury bond bubble will burst and I want to be sitting in a position when it happens. I playd the feb 48 calls last week and did pretty well on them and will be looking for an enty for June on the next pullback.

Re: EFT's For Shorting the Market
TBT - This seems to be a good play with all the debt the US goverment is dealing with right now I think interest rates will have to rise..

Re: EFT's For Shorting the Market
I will go through the resource you provided and I must say the prediction should be right and let see what will be the pros and cons, if interest rates will get rise than how it will affect.
