Bear Market Trades
ProShares offers several Exchange Traded Funds that short sell their respective index by a 2:1 ratio.
QID - Proshares UltraShort QQQQ
SDS - Proshares UltraShort S&P 500
DOG - Proshares UltraShort DOW
For every 1% the QQQQ (Nasdaq 100 Trust) loses the QID should gain 2%. I use them as a simple and effective why to hedge my portfolio during extended down drafts and I plan on using them for the next bear market.
I like these funds because they allow me to hold on to the more aggressive positons in my portfolio. I can hedge with one simple buy order instead of selling multiple positions that have often taken quite a bit of time to accumulate. Remember, because of the 2:1 ratio a little goes a long way.
