I guess that we all need to get better at market timing if we're going to trade SPY.

Out of the 1600 or so ETF-CEF funds there are a few that stand out - all are sector funds that happen to be doing well.

Check out:
KOL - Coal
PWND - Wind Energy
IDX  -  Indonesia
PSTL - Steel

High volatility and correlated screaming bear years are here to stay.... they are the inevitable consequence of momentum trading, which is a self perpetuating system until the music stops and someone is left holding the parcel.
