Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Is there an ETF where you can short crude oil on a longer term basis? What would likely happen if you purchased this ETF if the price of crude hit $105 and you held it for a few months and theoretically the crude price dropped to $80. Would this ETF work for a longer period of time or is it only meant for short term fluctuations? Do you have any other ideas for this type of trade without using futures?
Thanks

Q: If these inverse ETFS deteriorate in value over time, could I not capitalize on this by shorting the them? If I shorted both HOU and HOD would that not nullify the underlying volatility and just let me benefit from the decay in value?
