With interest rates are going up, I would have expected my TIPS (inflation protected bonds) to go up today. They didn’t.

The thread was about the DOW.
To: terart
It's an artificial fund constructed from a set of complex options and such, so that on average, it goes up when the S&P 500 goes down; but further, it goes up about 3x what the S&P 500 drops by.
Such things are useful for short term only; because of the nature of the underlying trades which make them up, such funds automatically leak value over time, so to speak, so you can't just park your money there and wait for the market to fall off a cliff.
