Are there any Implementations of Secure Indexes?

What are the names and symbols of some "stocks" that mirror the major indexes as they drop (go short)?

  • I want to know what "stocks" take advantage of a drop in the various stock indexes. In the opposite way that "SPYDERS" (SPY) mirrors the S&P going higher and 'QQQ' mirrors the Nasdaq index. What are the symbols for the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials and Nasdaq index that mirrors those indexes when they are dropping in price? I am not looking for "defensive" stocks, but those that actually go "short" the major stock indexes. I am also not interested in any mutual funds that negatively mirror stock indexes. Thanks for your help. . .

  • Answer:

    SDS is the ProShares S&P 500 short ETF QID is the one for the Nasdaq. Google 'Proshares' and you'll find the rest of them. They have them for most major indices.

Proshares offers traditional inverse ETFs (-1x the index's return) and leveraged inverse ETFs (-2x the index's return). SDS, QID, and DXD are the three primary leveraged inverse ETFs for the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow respectively. SH, PSQ, and DOG are the traditional inverse ETFs. Hope this helps.
