I read this article this morning and almost slapped myself upside the head for not realizing earlier a great complement to an account might very well be an inverse ETF.
Hi, WB,
If you read back through this board of messages sometime, you'll find that this topic comes up every now and then when someone quite innocently enough thinks it to be the best idea since sliced bread. [and i was one of those eager "bakers" too!] What we've concluded is that whilst such a relationship between two opposite holdings may work in a short term time-frame, in the larger-term AIM context of time, not so much, due mainly to the long-term bias of up movement in the market. Sorry about that. it's a good idea for a moment or two...
Best,
AIMster
