The stock market just got a fresh jolt of turbulence, and traders are buckling up for more. Monday's rollercoaster session saw the S&amp;P 500 index wipe out a staggering $1.5 trillion in value as trade war fears reignited. 
ETFs tracking the index closed lower: the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed lower by 1.75% while the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and the iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>) were down 1.72% on Monday close.

With tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China ramping up, volatility is officially back in business. The VIX has surged over 33% over the past month:
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="696" height="449" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/04062926/Screenshot-2025-03-04-at-4.59.09-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-807881" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/04062926/Screenshot-2025-03-04-at-4.59.09-PM.png 696w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/04062926/Screenshot-2025-03-04-at-4.59.09-PM-300x194.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px" /></figure>
Chart source: <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/VIX:INDEXCBOE?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiiwuP0qPCLAxV0Q2cHHSTZBhcQ3ecFegQIMhAX&amp;window=1M">Google Finance</a>
But for investors, chaos breeds opportunity &#8211; if you know how to play it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. The VIX Is Screaming &#8211; Use It</h2>
The Cboe Volatility Index ($VIX) is Wall Street's fear gauge, and when it spikes, traders take notice. With uncertainty surging, options-based strategies become lucrative. 
Investors can hedge against further market swings with the ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UVXY#BATS">UVXY</a>) or the iPath Series B S&amp;P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VXX#BATS">VXX</a>). 
But beware—these are short-term tools, not long-term holds.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Play Defense With Broad Market ETFs</h2>
When markets get rocky, smart money often rotates into low-volatility and defensive plays. 
The Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPLV#NYSE">SPLV</a>) offers exposure to less turbulent stocks, while the iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USMV#BATS">USMV</a>) helps cushion the downside. 
For those who expect more fireworks but want to stay long equities, the SPY remains a solid way to ride out the storm.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Don't Fight The Tape &#8211; Trade Trends</h2>
With uncertainty swirling, trend-following strategies gain an edge. Investors looking for short-term gains might consider the ProShares Short S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SH#NYSE">SH</a>) for bearish exposure or the ProShares UltraPro Short S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPXU#NYSE">SPXU</a>) for amplified downside bets. 
Meanwhile, gold, often a safe-haven asset, is seeing renewed interest through ETFs like SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).
With Trump hinting at more "big" announcements by Wednesday night, expect the volatility train to keep rolling. The question isn't whether markets will move &#8211; it's whether you're ready to trade the storm.

Tariffs, Trump, Tumult: How To Trade The Volatility Surge

Each week,&nbsp;Benzinga&#8217;s Stock Whisper Index&nbsp;uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks just under the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-whisper-index" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">surface and warrant attention</a>.
Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance to&nbsp;uncover new information.
This index layers editorial commentary to help make sense of why these stocks should be of interest and whether investors or casual readers should watch them.
Here is a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week of&nbsp;Feb.&nbsp;23:
Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>): The credit card company saw increased interest from investors likely related to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/02/37204534/capital-one-set-to-acquire-discover-in-landmark-35-3b-deal">$35 billion takeover of</a> Discover Financial Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) announced by Capital One Financial Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>). 
The acquisition could cause headwinds for Mastercard and Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), which are leaders in the credit card market. Capital One uses Visa and Mastercard for its credit cards and recently renewed partnerships. After the partnerships end, Capital One could transition to Discover and away from Visa and Mastercard. 
Visa shares also saw increased interest from Benzinga readers according to proprietary data.

Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>): The apparel company joins the index with increased interest from readers likely due to a ratings update from Needham. The Buy rating and the price target of $525 were reiterated by Needham and come in ahead of the recent price of $455 and the 52-week high of $516.39.
The company is expected to report fourth-quarter financial results in March. In<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/12/36143318/lululemon-q3-earnings-overview-eps-beat-revenue-beat-comps-up-13-1b-buyback-and-more"> the third quarter</a>, Lululemon beat Street consensus estimates for both revenue and earnings per share. The company said it was pleased with the early performance of the holiday season in the fourth quarter. Shares of the apparel company are up over 40% in the past year, but remain down around 11% year-to-date in 2024.
Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>): The technology company is carried over from last week&#8217;s Stock Whisper Index. Super Micro Computer is one of the fastest-gaining stocks in recent weeks and shares are up over 1,000% in the past year. 
Analysts have been sharing increased price targets as the stock continues higher. After a pullback from highs, Super Micro shares saw a +33% gain on Thursday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/37262009/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-stock-thursday">likely due to peer company</a> NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) reporting strong fourth-quarter earnings and seeing shares up. Super Micro recently announced that it is expanding its portfolio of AI solutions.
Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>): The content creation company saw shares fall early in the week potentially related to ChatGPT parent OpenAI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37185214/here-are-some-of-the-most-stunning-videos-from-openais-new-sora-video-tool">releasing teaser trailers</a> for is text-to-video tool Sora. The release of Sora expands the artificial intelligence capabilities that users of OpenAI can have at their fingertips. 
Several Adobe products are used by people to create images and videos and the new OpenAI tools may see users move over to the rival. Adobe reports first-quarter financial results in mid-March and may be asked for more details on the potential competition by analysts.
Short S&amp;P 500 ETFs: When looking at the proprietary data used to construct the Stock Whisper Index, ETFs also show up many times with increased interest from readers. ETFs are generally left off the index unless something big jumps out, which is the case this week with two (Benzinga is giving you a bonus Stock Whisper pick this week) S&amp;P 500 inverse ETFs seeing elevated interest. 
The ProShares UltraShort S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDS#NYSE">SDS</a>) and ProShares Short S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SH#NYSE">SH</a>) inverse ETFs both saw increased interest. The funds seek to offer performance that is the inverse of the S&amp;P 500 index or in the case of the UltraShort ETF, two times the performance of the S&amp;P 500.
Increased interest in the inverse S&amp;P 500 indexes comes as the index and the tracking ETFs like the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/37020083/s-p-500-hits-5-000-milestone-yet-concerns-of-overvaluation-versus-its-equal-weight-counterpart-m"> hit record highs </a>and the index passed the 5,000 milestone. 
Benzinga previously shared that the performance of the Magnificent 7 stocks has made up a large portion of the S&amp;P 500 Index gains and the performance of the index is widely outpacing S&amp;P 500 ETFs that are equally weighted. Investors may think that a pullback in the S&amp;P 500 is coming given the increased interest in inverse ETFs.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

The latest FX &amp; Rates Survey from Bank of America reveals that bond investors are hunting for long-dated Treasuries, put options on the stock market, and long positions in the Japanese Yen (JPY) versus high-beta currencies to shield themselves from the dangers connected with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/05/32362327/yellen-warns-of-catastrophe-if-debt-ceiling-impasse-continues-need-to-see-congress-committed-to-payi" target="_blank">U.S. debt limit crisis.</a>
Long-duration bets on U.S. treasuries were favored by 28% of the 73 global fixed-income investors polled by Bank of America, followed by stock puts at 26% and the long JPY strategy at 21%.

Only 2% of respondents favored a long USD trade, making it the least popular choice. Conversely, 26% believed that the U.S. dollar could potentially appreciate if broader market risk-off ensues and investors seek a safe haven, especially if the debt limit dispute remains unresolved by its deadline.
Exchange Traded Funds To Express These Views:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Long-duration U.S. treasuries are closely tracked by the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tlt#NASDAQ">TLT</a>).&nbsp;</li>
<li>Equity puts are options strategies, but exchange traded funds like the ProShares Short S&amp;P 500 (ARCA: SH) and ProShares UltraPro Short S&amp;P500 (ARCA: SPXU) can be used to express a bearish view of the stock market. SH&nbsp;seeks a return that is the inverse (-1x) of the S&amp;P 500&#39;s daily performance, while SPXU&nbsp;seeks a return that is three times the inverse (-3x) of the S&amp;P 500&#39;s daily performance.</li>
<li>The long JPY&#39;s strategy can be implemented through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-trade-forex" target="_blank">forex broker</a>, while if investors want to gain exposure to the Japanese currency against the dollar, the ETF that mimics the JPY/USD exchange rate is Invesco CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (ARCA: FXY)</li>

Debt-Limit Standoff: 3 Favorite Hedges For Bond Investors Seeking Shelter From Crisis

A U.S. Senator who previously bet against the stock market in 2022 has placed a new bet with an ETF that shorts U.S. listed companies. Here are the details.
What Happened: Delaware Senator Thomas Carper bought up to $110,000 in Ranger Equity Bear Bear ETF (ARCA: $HDGE), an active ETF that shorts US listed stocks, <a href="https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1588323869634441216">according to </a>Unusual Whales, a Twitter account that tracks unusual trades by Congress members.
Carper, who sits on the Senate Finance Committee, &quot;is actively shorting the US economy,&rdquo; Unusual Whales tweeted.
Related Link:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25015596/exclusive-unusual-whales-creates-nancy-pelosi-etf-so-you-can-track-her-trades">EXCLUSIVE - Unusual Whales Creates &#39;Nancy Pelosi ETF&#39; So You Can Track Her Trades</a>
The Ranger Equity Bear Bear ETF (ARCA:HDGE) from Advisor Shares was <a href="https://advisorshares.com/etfs/hdge/">launched </a>in 2011 and has $152 million in assets under management.
&ldquo;The investment objective of the AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF is capital appreciation through short sales of domestically traded equity securities,&rdquo; the company&rsquo;s website says. &ldquo;In selecting short positions, the Fund seeks to identify securities with low earnings quality or aggressive accounting which may be intended on the part of company management to mask operational deterioration and bolster the reported earnings per share over a short time period.&rdquo;
AdvisorShares says the ETF could be used as a tool in a long/short strategy where investors go long on an index ETF and go long HDGE giving them short exposure as well.
The fund invests in companies with future catalysts that could drive stock prices lower. The fund seeks to hold between 20 to 75 short positions averaging in size of 2% to 7% each.
Among the current top ten holdings of the ETF are Universal Display (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oled#NASDAQ">OLED</a>), OneMain Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/omf#NYSE">OMF</a>), Equinix (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eqix#NASDAQ">EQIX</a>), DoorDash Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dash#NYSE">DASH</a>) and Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crus#NASDAQ">CRUS</a>).
The current makeup of the ETF is 45.7% small cap stocks, 36.5% mid-cap stocks and 17.8% large cap stocks.
Why It&rsquo;s Important: While members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks, including taking short positions, as long as they properly disclose, this could be a bad take for the public.
The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/07/28252561/could-nancy-pelosi-and-husband-be-banned-from-stock-trading-heres-what-could-be-coming-in-august"> push to ban members </a>of U.S. Congress from buying and selling stocks, options and ETFs has risen in recent years. Over the last two years, members of Congress have been buying and selling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25337519/10-best-stock-traders-in-congress-in-2021-spoiler-nancy-pelosi-isnt-no-1">stocks linked </a>to committees they serve on or based on new policies or contracts announced by the U.S. government.
Carper, who previously served as Delaware governor from 1993 to 2001, has been a U.S. Senator since 2001. He has actively been <a href="https://sec.report/Senate-Stock-Disclosures">betting </a>against the performance of the U.S. stock market in 2022.
As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, Carper could be privy to information of what the U.S. government plans to do to fight high inflation and keep the country out of a recession.
Along with the new position in the Ranger Equity Bear Bear ETF, Carper <a href="https://unusualwhales.com/politics/profile/Thomas%20R%20Carper">previously </a>held shares of the ProShares Short QQQ (ARCA:PSQ), which bets against the performance of the Nasdaq 100, as tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
Carper also previously held shares of the ProShares Short S&amp;P 500 (ARCA:SH), which shorts the S&amp;P 500, a key market index tracked with the S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (ARCA:SPY).
The U.S. Senator holds long positions in several stocks, so the new position could be a hedge as it was meant or a trust that AdvisorShares has found companies that will likely have earnings pressure going forward.
News of Carper&rsquo;s bets against the U.S. stock market could continue to put pressure on a ban of members of Congress to be able to trade stocks.

If history is a guide, there&rsquo;s a chance that the recent selloff in the market may have just gotten started. As you can see on the below chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average going back to 1897, the current move lower is barely visible.
There have been many bear markets that lasted for many months or even years.
After a decade-long bull market, many new traders have never been through a market like this. Now would be a good time for them to learn about strategies that profit when the market moves lower.
These can include the use of inverse ETFs. They are designed to go up when the market goes down. For example, the ProShares Short S&amp;P500 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sh#NYSE">SH</a>) moves in the opposite direction of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spy#NYSE">SPY</a>).

BZ Chart Of The Day: The Selling Just May Be Getting Started

With the extreme volatility of the&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&#39;s 12.1% 2022 correction, many investors are worried about where the stock market is headed next.
For traders that believe the recent dip is merely the beginning of a much larger downturn, here are some potential ways to profit from a market downturn.
<h3>Short Sell Individual Stocks</h3>
There are two inherent benefits to owning shares of stock.
One is that the market, volatile as it may be, has a general upward trend over time because of the general growth of the economy. The other advantage to owning shares of stock is that the maximum risk is capped at a 100% loss, while the reward is potentially limitless.
When short selling a stock, these two advantages are flipped to disadvantages.
The best-case scenario, improbable as it may be, would be a 100-percent gain from short-selling a stock that eventually goes to zero. However, if the share price of a shorted stock doubles or triples, losses can amount to multiples of the size of the initial short position.

Because of the nature of their business models,&nbsp;the bottom lines of online brokerages such as&nbsp;Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/schw#NYSE">SCHW</a>), Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hood#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ibkr#NASDAQ">IBKR</a>)&nbsp;tend to grow and shrink right along with the overall market, so these stocks might make good candidates for short sale during a pullback.
<h3>Buy Put Options</h3>
If the idea of capping your gains at 100% while still allowing for the possibility of unlimited losses does not seem appealing, another approach is to buy put options. Put options limit losses to 100% while allowing gains of much greater than 100%.
The disadvantage of buying put options is that timing is critical. Not only does the price of the underlying stock need to fall for a put option to be profitable, but it must also fall before the put&#39;s expiration date. The further into the future the option expiration date is, the more expensive the time-related option premium.
<h3>Buy Precious Metals</h3>
One indirect way to bet against the market is to bet on something that investors tend to flock to when they are scared: <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">gold</a>. One of the easiest ways to invest in gold without needing a treasure chest buried in the backyard is to buy shares of the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/gld#NYSE">GLD</a>).
Any time there is economic uncertainty, the price of gold tends to spike because investors view gold as something that holds intrinsic value. However, the problem with betting on a rise in gold prices during a market downturn is that the inverse correlation between gold prices and the stock market is very loose. In fact, sometimes there is even a positive correlation between the S&amp;P 500 and the price of gold.
<h3>Buy An Inverse ETF</h3>
Inverse <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/topic/etfs">ETFs</a> are funds comprised of stocks and derivatives that are intended to trade inversely to a particular target. Many inverse ETFs are meant to trade inversely to the broad market, such as ProShares Short S&amp;P 500 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/sh#NYSE">SH</a>).
The advantages to owning an inverse ETF include diversification, no margin requirement, no time constraints or time premiums, and a correlation to the overall market that is nearly exactly inverse. However, even these inverse ETFs do not provide perfect inverse correlation, and the imperfect correlation can compound over time.
<h3>Benzinga&#39;s Take:</h3>
Although each choice has its advantages and disadvantages, investors that believe the worst is yet to come for the stock market certainly have plenty of choices for betting on further downside.

4 Ways To Profit Off A Falling Stock Market

There&#39;s a chance&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/21/09/22932111/is-the-spy-rally-finally-about-to-end">stock market rally is over</a> and the long-awaited correction is here. If so, astute investors can hedge their portfolios or even profit from a market sell-off.
This can be done with inverse ETFs. These ETFs are designed to move in the opposite direction of the market. One of them is the ProShares Short S&amp;P500 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sh#NYSE">SH</a>).
This ETF is designed to move in the oppositive direction as the S&amp;P 500 Index. For example, if the S&amp;P 500 falls by 2%, SH should appreciate by about 2%.
As you can see on the following chart, now that the S&amp;P 500 seems to have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/21/09/22990216/bears-salivate-as-the-spy-finally-breaks-its-uptrend">broken its recent uptrend</a>, SH seems to have broken its recent downtrend.

If Stocks Go Down, This ETF Goes Up

Many analysts are predicting there will soon be a correction in the market. They cite the high levels of inflation and the problems employers are having highering employees.
Now, they can add to the list the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/07/21877539/trump-to-sue-zuckerberg-dorsey-and-pichai-over-social-media-banishment">lawsuits that have been filed by former President Trump</a> against Facebook, Inc.

Of course, no one really knows what will happen to the market. But investors who believe a sell-off is coming should consider inverse ETFs as a way to protect their portfolios. One of them is the ProShares Short S&amp;P 500 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sh#NYSE">SH</a>).
This ETF is designed to move inversely to the S&amp;P 500 Index. If the Index is down 5%, for example, SH should gain about 5%.

If Stocks Go Lower, This ETF Will Move Higher

The market is trading close to all-time highs and many analysts are expecting a correction or sell-off over the next few weeks.
They argue that the market has come too far. Some consolidation is overdue and would be natural.
Retail investors can protect themselves against market downturns by using inverse ETFs. These ETFs move in the opposite direction as the market. If the market goes down, they will move higher.
They include the ProShares Short S&amp;P 500 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sh#NYSE">SH</a>) and the Direxion Daily S&amp;P 500 Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spxs#NYSE">SPXS</a>).
SH is designed to move in the opposite direction as the S&amp;P 500 Index. If the index is down by 1%, SH should rise by about the same amount.
<img alt="sh_1.png" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u344550/sh_1.png" style="height:400px; width:640px" />
SPXS also moves in the opposite direction as the S&amp;P 500 Index, but it uses leverage and is designed to move by&nbsp;three times the amount. If the index is down by 1%, SH should rise by about 3%.

2 ETFs For A Potential Market Sell-Off

If the market goes down, there&#39;s an easy way to profit.
Many investors think the market is overvalued and they may be correct. At 2.9, the price to sales ratio of the S&amp;P 500 is the highest that it has been in at least two decades. By this measure at least, the market is overvalued.
Bearish investors should consider inverse ETFs as a way to protect themselves from, and even profit, if the market heads lower. These ETFs use complicated strategies to inversely mirror the market, but they trade as regular ETFs or stocks. This means average investors don&rsquo;t need to be concerned with the mechanics.

The most widely cited index in the media is the Dow Jones Industrial Average. This index has been calculated and reported on since 1896. Its members include 30 large and well-known companies.
The ProShares Short Dow 30 ETF moves in the opposite direction of the Dow Jones. If the Dow&nbsp;is down by 1%, this ETF should rise by 1%.
<img alt="dog.png" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u344550/dog.png" style="height:400px; width:640px" />
The S&amp;P 500 Index is also commonly cited by the media.
This Index is much more broad-based than the Dow. The Dow is made up of 30 stocks, while the S&amp;P 500 consists of approximately 500 stocks.
The ProShares Short S&amp;P 500 ETF&nbsp;moves in the opposite direction as the S&amp;P 500 Index. If the index falls 5%, this ETF should appreciate by about 5%.

The Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3X Shares ETF is much more volatile than DOG and SH. It&#39;s structured to move three times inversely to the Russell 2000 Index, an&nbsp;index that consists of roughly 2,000 small-cap companies.
These small-cap stocks tend to be more volatile than the larger company stocks in the other indices. If the Russell 2000 drops by 1%, this ETF will gain about 3%.
