Realize of course these shorts are probably not the best long term holdings as the market will reverse at some point wiping out those gains. They do make for some nice daytrades however! I predict that SLX will continue to slide as the global growth scenario has peaked and will level off and drift lower post-2008. Actually, per WSJ.com data sources, the top 5 ETF’s YTD are:
