Down on a down day? A little odd?!
are new, but the Inverse, US Large Cap, and Emerging Market funds have at least a three year record. Inverse Fund PSTIX ( PSSDX ) has been used as a hedge for years by various M* posters: (click to enlarge) Although certain hedges have been more effective
not really show this effect. And while popular short fund PSSDX certianly mirrors the S&P, that fund is in negative territory ..... Sorry chart not working... It showed BAB, BBN, VBMFX, PSSDX , and S&P 500 index over past one year.
In the X-Ray portfolio analyzer, Global Breakdown page detailed breakdown, PSSDX is classified as 100% European. It doesn't make sense to me. Why do you even try to show a breakdown of funds heavy in derivatives
relative to the S&P 500 over the past five years: VQT total returns chart like this relative to the S&P 500, the Vix, PSSDX , and DBLFX: (click to enlarge) At first glance this looks like a successful product for alternative investing. What's
concept as a mutual fund investor, I'm wondering if this protection can't be achieved through a combination of hard hege like PSSDX and a softer hedge like PAUDX? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-10/universa-pimco-posted-gains
and lust after fat dividends and am apt to buy when I think things are "cheap". Well, I indeed increased cash and bought PSSDX and leveraged bear TZA when the signals indicated and made a sparkling gain..... then the old emotional vices kicked in
your expressed puzzlement to my buying PSSDX on a strong Dow upswing. In your July OP ..... Wednesday. Added another hedging slice of PSSDX . Now discussion in answer to your question ..... little more for safety's sake, esp since PSSDX throws off a little yield while U wait
holding PIMCO StocksPLUS TR Short Strategy ( PSSDX and other tickers) or ProShares Short ..... 10% of my portfolio. 4) I have owned PSSDX before, so I know it can be potent. Questions: 1) Would you use PSSDX to cover your exposure to the S&P 500
