With this year's market bloodbath, bearish speculators have flocked to short or inverse ETFs to feast on the mishaps of flagship indices, mainly the tech-heavy ones. Over $1.2 billion of net inflows have been injected into these risky assets, out of which $736 million went into leveraged inverse ETFs.
Among the largest receivers in America is a line-up of ProShares products, which include ProShares UltraShort S&P500 (SDS, +$419 million), ProShares Short QQQ (PSQ, +$273 million), ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (SQQQ, +$250 million), ProShares Short S&P500 (SH, +$202 million), and ProShares UltraShort DOW30 (DXD, +$78 million).
