on  the various funds of all three companies and will look over there 
performance.

  There are a number of fund families that have 
  inverse funds (stocks and bonds), including Rydex, ProFund, and Potomic.  
  The funds vary in leverage from 1:1 to 2:1, and Rydex Dynamic funds trade 
  twice per day (10:45 and close).  At times the funds do better than their 
  target and at other times not as well.  According to Rydex's president, 
  they make no attempt to time the market during the day and trade as orders are 
  received.

    Are there any mutual funds or stock 
    instruments that trade inversely to the major indices? I am familiar with 
    one, the RYDEX URSA fund. If so, what experience have you had trading 
    with them, i.e., trading lag, fills, degree of inverse correlation, 
    etc.?
     
    Thanks,
