Exchange Traded Funds which belong to this category lets you take advantage of the bearish trend of underlying index by buying ETF Short. These funds follow the ever so popular style of trading which is short selling, under short selling an investor can borrow the securities from the broker and later buy the same security and return it back to the broker. ETF Short is also known as Inverse ETFs and Bear ETFs. Actually these funds are becoming popular and works perfect for the investors during the ongoing financial crisis.

So if there are still worries about the stock market and there is going to be recession in the economy the rational idea is to short the index. However if a trader does not have a margin account and don’t want to have one, ETF Short becomes the right choice. Unlike Mutual Funds one can buy and sell ETFs on the exchange during the trading session just like ordinary stocks.

Usually Short ETFs can be categorized in to following three types:

1.)   Normal Short ETF: In this type of ETFs a trader gets returns equal to the fall in the market i.e. if the market falls by 2% value of this ETF goes up by 2%. Some of the popular Short ETFs are Short S&P 500 ProShares (SH), Short NASDAQ-100 Index (PSQ), Short Dow Jones Industrial Average SM (DOG), and Short Russell 2000 Index (RWM).

2.)   Double Short ETF: In this type of ETFs a trader gets double the returns in case the market falls i.e. if the market falls by 2% then the value of this ETF goes up by 4%.

3.)   Ultra Short ETF: Some of these Ultra Short ETF offers a trader to get 2.5 times the returns if the market falls i.e. if the market falls by 2% value of this ETF will go up by 5%. Some of the popular Ultra Short ETFs are UltraShort NASDAQ-100 Index (QID), UltraShort Dow Jones Industrial Average SM (DXD), UltraShort S&P 500 Index (SDS) and UltraShort Russell 2000 Index (TWM).

Today traders do not need to worry about the falling markets so either you already are invested in the current market and want to hedge your risk by taking an inverse position or if you believe markets are going to fall you can deal in these ETFs and take advantage of the situation.
