Inverse ETFs for shorting the market?

O
Feb 22, 2025 · 00:51

Hey there, hoping some of y'all can help me. I decided last night it's time to buy 6-month puts on US market. Of course it would've been way better if I bought them yesterday, but I closed my account that was approved for options and recently transferred funds to a new, better brokerage. It'll take me awhile to get approved on options.

I wanna get in on this shit immediately. What are the best options for "shorting" the market? I'm not on margin and have never formally shorted a stock. Are there any good inverse ETFs (inverse VTI or SPY) that would effectively give me the same results as shorting?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Party on Garths!
