I'm aware that inverse ETFs typically have poor long term performance vs. their underlying, so I'm looking for a substitute to achieve the same results.
Because this account is a 401k (Fidelity), I cannot:
1) Purchase puts.
2) Trade spreads.
3) Short the underlying.
4) Purchase long calls or trade spreads (such as the VIX).
5) Trade futures.
I'd transfer it to IB if I could, but moving it isn't an option since I'm still employed with the company and plan to be for awhile.
What are my alternatives?
I'm assuming the non-leveraged inverses have better performance than their 2x/3x counterparts, but still suffer the same compounding issues.
I use the Russell 2k, so the inverses are RWM and TWM (2x).
Any suggestions on how to offset these issues?
Thanks in advance.
