A SIMPLE WAY TO SHORT THE MARKET

Proshares Short S&P 500 (SH) is a simple and easy way to short the market. The S&P 500 includes the largest caps of the overall market. Most analysis consider the S&P 500 the proxy index for comparisons. The inverse relationship between (SH) and the S&P is very close minus a very small fee. Most short funds or ETF's require a high initial cost and some low priced discount brokers such as Share Builder will not allow shorting. But they do allow (SH) and you can invest as little as you want. A chart of (SH) combined with the S&P 500 (SPX) will show the diverging tendency. Even the small guy can hedge the market!
