ProShares Short S&P500

SH provides inverse exposure to a market cap-weighted index of 500 large- and mid-cap US firms selected by the S&P Index Committee.

ProShares Short S&P500 is currently paying a higher cash yield than owning stocks long through a regular index fund. The trust is yielding around 3.5% annualized on a forward basis, with excess cash income beyond its management fee paid to holders. This setup is encouraging risk takers to go short stocks instead of long, a major change of tune for investors.

SH: Mr. Market Is Paying More To Be Short S&P 500, Than Long

Interest in SH has been declining, with the number of shares outstanding dropping from 250,000,000 last October to 117,256,000. This is a positive signal for a higher stock market. There has never been a bear market, or major market decline, to start until buying in SH first dropped to just 5% of assets. It's currently at 17% of assets. SH should be avoided at this time. We expect the start of another bear market, and a possible investment in SH, later this year.
