Think the Market is Due for a Pullback? Buy These 4 ETFs
The stock market has recovered and leapt ahead at a remarkable pace since its correction last March. But according to many analysts, the market’s rally could prove to be a bubble and, as such, another correction could be in the offing in the near term. Thus, we think investors should prepare for a market pullback by betting on “inverse ETFs” such as ProShares Short S&P500 (SH), ProShares Short QQQ (PSQ), ProShares Short Dow30 (DOG) and ProShares Short Russell2000 (RWM), which, we think, should help protect their portfolios from losses.
