    Try the ProFunds Group for some short and leveraged short mutual funds.
    http://www.profunds.com

    Or you could short the standard index related ETFs: QQQQ, STY, IWM.

    There are some ultrashort ETFs out there (i.e. you can buy them to go short): QID, SDS

    Note – Be careful shorting right now.
