Bad market times are great times for stocks which bet against various indexes in the stock market, I have compiled a list of the stocks that do well when the index does not.
If you have the ability to do a lay over chart you can see that the stocks listed below each index, they rely on that index doing badly, who says you cant make money in a bad market. <o:p> </o:p>

I believe that we are in a recession and that small cap stocks' greater volatility and greater dependence on the domestic economy will hinder them. Be warned. This is one of the smaller ETFs.
