On the FAZ & the SKF - Bearish Etfs (Chart 1)

FAZ and SKF are both Exchange-Traded Funds in the US aimed at exploiting the opportunities from falling bank and financial shares. An alternative to buying yen or buying USD to capitalize on an emerging sell-off in shares would be to go unleveraged by purchasing these ETFs via any provider of online stock trading. FAZ is the cheaper and more volatile option, used as triple bearish the financials, whereas SKF is the more expensive and less leveraged ETF. Both ETFs have shown massive declines since the March rally, but note how their oscillator has regained positive territory for the first time since the beginning of the recovery in stocks in early March.
