Looks increasingly likely that health care is going to emerge from the current legislative dance unscathed, possibly even stronger with a subsidized mandate for universal subscription.
Add to that the usual decay of a leveraged short etf, and this seems too easy.

Testing a theory here with this account, shorting all short ProShares for starters.

Obama's health plans aren't good for companies in this sector which have to make a profit to survive.

After 50% plus declines in most markets, could there be a worse time to go double short on any index.

The only thing holding this market up is Bernanke's rate cuts and funny business perpetrated by the big financial companies at the behest of GW Bush. The U.S. is $9 trillion in debt and running an ever increasing annual deficit. The country is in a real pickle now thanks to historical Greenspan rate cutting and Hank Paulson's helicopter money. Thank you Goldman Sachs and Mr. President. There's lots of misery coming. It's the end game and we all lose.

This is a very 'cheesy' (imho) tactic that I got from another Caps player. Over the long haul stocks go up. So shorting all of the ultra-short or short ETFs will do better than the SPY.
If stocks go up then the short/ultra-short ETF will be negative but the SPY will be positive. This strategy is incredibly sound but I don't really think it is what Motley Fool had in mind when they started Caps.
I like health care at this point so this is one of my picks of the ultrashorts.
I really don't think it is fair that those who are shorting the short/ultrashort ETFs get credit for 'underdog' and 'skeptic' charms.
