It is known that Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) like SPY and QQQQ follow the market trends. Compare these tickers with the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ charts to see what I mean:

SPY

SPY ETF and the S&P 500 index (SPX)


QQQQ

QQQQ ETF and the NASDAQ composite index (COMP)

But there's another group of ETFs that go in the opposite direction to their benchmark. When the market rallies, they go down, and in a bear market, they go bullish!

These are called Inverse ETFs, also known as Short ETFs and Bear ETFs, and they are good options during bear markets. You can find an Inverse ETF for virtually any sector of the stock market you can think of.

This is a list of the most relevant Inverse ETFs, give them a try!
