ETF to short the FTSE?
Comments

CFD's are NOT the same as ETF's, CFD is a leveraged product.
When I want to hedge long positions and don't want to use CFD's I use ETF's. Some ETF's as described are leveraged short though (2x), at the moment I hold a straight short ETF on the SPX500 which I am planning to add to quite soon. As the holdings in ETF's are not leveraged (some are as mentioned, but not like CFD's) you don't have the concerns of money management.
I do this quite often and as appropriate (to me and my exposures).
