ETF Tickers: SRS, SDP, SSG, SJH, SZK, SDD, SKK, SKF, SDS, SCC, SJL, FXI, PGJ, HRD, IIH, RWR, ICF, ITB, EZA, UNG

What’s an easy way to tell when the market had a pretty bad hair day, other than looking at the ticker tape?  Seeing that all of the ETF winners for the day are listed as the UltraShort "Whatever" ProShares……they are the inverse move of an any underlying index, so when they are up the index or the market is down.  The top 12 performers today were all in that category. Some of these are leveraged to their index, not it doesn’t mean the worst performers are the underlying index per se.

UltraShort Real Estate ProShares (SRS) 3.52%   
UltraShort Utilities ProShares (SDP) 3.13%   
UltraShort Semiconductor ProShares (SSG) 2.09%
UltraShort Russell2000 Value ProShares (SJH) 1.66%
UltraShort Consumer Goods ProShares (SZK) 1.59%
UltraShort SmallCap600 ProShares (SDD) 1.49%
UltraShort Russell2000 Growth ProShares (SKK) 1.41%   
UltraShort Financials ProShares    (SKF) 1.36%
UltraShort S&P500 ProShares (SDS) 1.35%
UltraShort Consumer Services ProShares (SCC) 1.24%
UltraShort Russell MidCap Val ProShares    (SJL) 1.20%   
UltraShort Russell2000 ProShares (TWM) 1.06%

Today was more of a Bernake playing hankie with words than it was China.  Tomorrow’s another day.
