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.
