@OneDay – Yes, I would think that WMT would be a good long term hold. You just made me think about looking for a contrarian ETF, surely that exists right?

It’s an interesting debate. I’m not a contrarian investor. Seems like some contrarian investors are currently buying the us stock market, technology in particular…

Maybe WMT, seems like a good hold? What do you think?

[...] Inverse ETFs are also a helpful tool to offset losses in more traditional growth investments. New products are quickly being rolled out that allow investors to bet against individual sectors, commodities, or geographic regions. If you have significant exposure to energy companies, you might consider taking a position in the ProShares Ultrashort Oil and Gas (DUG) which will increase as this sector declines. The beauty of these instruments is that they can usually be traded in an IRA (which typically would not be able to short securities) and offer an excellent hedging opportunity.
