Want to short the market? Here’s our massive list of ETFs that go up when a market goes down. This list is incomplete as the universe of inverse ETFs is constantly growing. An inverse ETF goes up in price when its underlying benchmark index goes down in price. While they are not perfect, inverse ETFs can serve as a unique trading vehicle in a declining market. (Premium members can click the ticker symbol to see our Profit Trakker chart of that ETF, complete with uptrend and downtrend signals.)
