Tha would assume that by shorting the mutual fund, you would be earning
the fees and commissions taken out of the net asset values by
managers... You are probably better off trying to create your own
spreads from a basket of stocks you think will underperform the
indices. Maybe test short the top 20-30 holdings of some crap mutual
fund versus long S&P...
Good luck trading,
Seth

Thanks for the responses. The choices mentioned can't do the job I had
in
mind, which I'll briefly explain. Given that one accepts a stance that a
given Fund will underperform-forgetting about how one arrived at that
opinion-looking at their historical charts or rather looking at ratio'd
spreads of their price and relevant indices, positioning for an expected
divergence ought to have been profitable. So the challenge is to devise
a
way to go short particular Fund(s).
I've never bought a Fund-they've never seemed attractive to me-so I
don't
know too much about them. Is there a way to obtain a list of their
holdings
each night or frequently?

Colin,
BEARX is a fund that you buy that shorts the market.
