You can take a short position on entire indexes by buying these exchange traded funds (ETF):

Pro Shares Ultra Short Industrials (SIJ)
Pro Shares Ultra Short S&P 500 (SDS)
Pro Shares Ultra Short Dow 30 (DXD)

With the situation in Greece, I have made a bit of money lately with Pro Shares Ultra Short Euro (EUO)

ETFs trade just like stocks so you don’t need a margin account to take short positions.

Always protect yourself with tight trailing stops.
