Jim:
 
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,
