  • A few stocks turning up:

    FXF - Swiss Franc currency ETF.

    SNDA, HANS (on a pullback)

    I'll post more as I find em.

    Thanks
  • Inverse Rydex Russell 2000 2x fund: RYIRX

    Inverse Rydex NDX 100 2x fund: RYVNX

    Inverse Rydex SPX 2x fund: RYTPX

    TWM, QID, or SDS which are also double beta will accomplish the same thing.

    I use Rydex, because I have most of my $ at Rydex and it allows me to trade between these funds with no commissions. However, you will pay a price in terms of flexibility. There are only two trading windows at Rydex. 10:30 and 3:55 everyday as opposed to buying and selling when you want with the ETF's.

    This is why I trade both the standard etf's in a brokerage account as well as Rydex.
