ETF Securities to launch entire range of ETCs providing 33 types of both Short and Leveraged Exposure
Seems your downside risk is limited to what your initial investment is though - unlike traditional short and leveraged investments. It's just a press release for now with the ETFs being listed 'in the next few weeks'. Hopefully they'll have proper facts sheets and prospectuses soon.
Not sure I'd be looking to go short at this point but some leverage might be interesting.
