Business:Investing
The extreme bullish market action of the last month has left an increasing number of investors feeling a disconnect between a worsening macro-economic picture and lofty equity prices. Using inverse or leveredged ETFs to short the market for more than very short periods of time presents a major potential risk in the form of compounding via daily resets. The AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF (HDGE) holds an actual portfolio of actively managed short positions meaning bears don't need to worry about compounding losses over longer-term holding periods. Two of the funds managers, Brad Lamensdorf and David Tice, join Let's Talk ETFs to discuss their outlook for markets and delve into their investing process, including specific names they're particularly bearish on.
