What to buy in a bear market: check out these 10 ETFs

Smart stock investors or traders take advantage of both upward and downward swings. Buying short ETFs in a bear or uncertain market can be a great way to hedge your portfolio and even make great profits in a short time. You may want to consider a stop-loss trigger based on price and/or time to preserve your capital and profits. Make sure you change your approach when your original assumptions are no longer valid.
