  Bill,

That you find no sector funds you would want to own only confirms that we
are in a bear market.  You're lucky you have Ursa.  I trade sectors in
Invesco, which I like generally, but there's no bear-mkt. fund.  So my
situation is worse than yours.  Best stay in cash or bonds, until this
thing runs its course, I'd say.

Best,
Fred
