First I want to say that the money I use to invest or trade the market is mine and I should be able to use it as I see fit. I often use inverse funds to hedge or take advantage of short term pull backs in the market. It seems to me to be a lot easier to buy an inverse fund than to acquire shares to short or use an options strategy. I also often use long leveraged funds to take advantage of the short term upside in choppy markets. again it seems easier for me to buy a fund than to use options or pick stocks to go long. I have had much more success using inverse and leveraged funds over short time periods than using options.
