    Nothing goes straight up or down. There must be some period of retracement here for a short while? If not... SCARY!!!

            1929 - People lost their money in the market.
            1930 - Really smart people lost their money.
            1931-32 Really really smart people lost their money.

            Moral of the story is, just because the dow hit 14,000 doesn't mean its a bargain here.
            Yield: 4.32%
            P/E Ratio: 17.75
            When the dow was at 14,000 the price/earnings ratio was lower but it was based on false earnings and people were arguing that it was a bargain at those prices.. Even if you think current earnings will hold up, most market bottoms occur when P/E is 7:1-10:1. That puts the dow at around 4000.

                          This fund is like a basket if you will of financial stocks and the fund shorts these shares so as they go down your fund price goes up (as you can see represented in the chart). In the old days you had to individually short the stock or buy a mutual fund that involved too many fees. now its as easy as buying IBM you would input (on e-trade...) buy X shares of IBM, you would input buy X shares of SEF. I'm not saying its a good buy at this point... It's had a big run but yes, with a few hundred in a on line trading account and a belief that oill, gold, housing... is going in a certain direction, you can participate either up or down.

                              Just as I was writing above about the multiples of the market at it's lows blah blah...
                              Real Estate back in the 30's was so depressed, people were so afraid to buy for fear it could go lower that at the bottom, houses were selling for what 4 years rent would be. Think about that. If you are renting a house at $1,000 a month that home would be selling for around $50,000. This is the poteintial for the downside on real estate again. Be careful!
