Summary
SPDN is not the largest or oldest way to short the S&P 500, but it’s a solid choice.
This ETF uses a variety of financial instruments to target a return opposite that of the S&P 500 Index.
SPDN’s 0.49% Expense Ratio is nearly half that of the larger, longer-tenured -1x Inverse S&P 500 ETF.
Details aside, the potential continuation of the equity bear market makes single-inverse ETFs an investment segment investor should be familiar with.
We rate SPDN a Strong Buy because we believe the risks of a continued bear market greatly outweigh the possibility of a quick return to a bull market.

Summary
The S&P 500 is in a bear market, and we don’t see a quick-fix. Many investors assume the only way to navigate a potentially long-term bear market is to hide in cash, day-trade or “just hang in there” while the bear takes their retirement nest egg.

The Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF (NYSEARCA:SPDN) is one of a class of single-inverse ETFs that allow investors to profit from down moves in the stock market.

SPDN is an unleveraged, liquid, low-cost way to either try to hedge an equity portfolio, profit from a decline in the S&P 500, or both. We rate it a Strong Buy, given our concern about the intermediate-term outlook for the global equity market.

Strategy
SPDN keeps it simple. If the S&P 500 goes up by X%, it should go down by X%. The opposite is also expected.

Proprietary ETF Grades
Offense/Defense: Defense

Segment: Inverse Equity

Sub-Segment: Inverse S&P 500

Correlation (vs. S&P 500): Very High (inverse)

Expected Volatility (vs. S&P 500): Similar (but opposite)

Holding Analysis
SPDN does not rely on shorting individual stocks in the S&P 500. Instead, the managers typically use a combination of futures, swaps and other derivative instruments to create a portfolio that consistently aims to deliver the opposite of what the S&P 500 does.

Strengths
SPDN is a fairly “no-frills” way to do what many investors probably wished they could do during the first 9 months of 2022 and in past bear markets: find something that goes up when the “market” goes down. After all, bonds are not the answer they used to be, commodities like gold have, shall we say, lost their luster. And moving to cash creates the issue of making two correct timing decisions, when to get in and when to get out. SPDN and its single-inverse ETF brethren offer a liquid tool to use in a variety of ways, depending on what a particular investor wants to achieve.

Weaknesses
The weakness of any inverse ETF is that it does the opposite of what the market does, when the market goes up. So, even in bear markets when the broader market trend is down, sharp bear market rallies (or any rallies for that matter) in the S&P 500 will cause SPDN to drop as much as the market goes up.

Opportunities
While inverse ETFs have a reputation in some circles as nothing more than day-trading vehicles, our own experience with them is, pardon the pun, exactly the opposite! We encourage investors to try to better-understand single inverse ETFs like SPDN. While traders tend to gravitate to leveraged inverse ETFs (which actually are day-trading tools), we believe that in an extended bear market, SPDN and its ilk could be a game-saver for many portfolios.

Threats
SPDN and most other single inverse ETFs are vulnerable to a sustained rise in the price of the index it aims to deliver the inverse of. But that threat of loss in a rising market means that when an investor considers SPDN, they should also have a game plan for how and when they will deploy this unique portfolio weapon.

Proprietary Technical Ratings
Short-Term Rating (next 3 months): Strong Buy

Long-Term Rating (next 12 months): Buy

Conclusions
ETF Quality Opinion
SPDN does what it aims to do, and has done so for over 6 years now. For a while, it was largely-ignored, given the existence of a similar ETF that has been around much longer. But the more tenured SPDN has become, the more attractive it looks as an alternative.

ETF Investment Opinion

SPDN is rated Strong Buy because the S&P 500 continues to look as vulnerable to further decline. And, while the market bottomed in mid-June, rallied, then waffled since that time, our proprietary macro market indicators all point to much greater risk of a major decline from this level than a fast return to bull market glory. Thus, SPDN is at best a way to exploit and attack the bear, and at worst a hedge on an otherwise equity-laden portfolio.

US President Obama has just recently passed the divisive shifts to the nation’s healthcare policies. The bill allows for the health insurance coverage of around thirty million citizens not benefiting from the deficiency in proper medical care. Historically, Obama is the first American president to have comprehensively renewed the country’s healthcare system. The clinical and pharmacy businesses, in turn, will have to do big adjustments in line with the nation’s healthcare policies, which are following the model of European nations like the UK. Over 16 million citizens will be included in Medicaid’s policies. This covers low- to middle-income-earning citizens. Private insurance companies are banned from refusing medical care for pre-existing conditions such as heart or bone problems.The reform has been anticipated to have an overall uplifting change on the pharmacy businesses. The bill grants complete insurance plans to an added number of US citizens. In terms of pharmacy industry matters, the bill gives pharmacist-provided medication therapy management (MTM) services. It also has a loan forgiveness agenda. On the downside, the Medicare reimbursement to pharmacies is still unclear. It will take several years for businesses to smoothen out these details.Since the US is using Europe’s healthcare model, American pharmacies will have to change their buying systems as well. The demand to change their market will majorly influence the companies involved in driving the national medical economy. With the greater insurance plan, pharmacies will benefit from more customers hitting their stores to buy medicines. They’re no longer restricted by the unemployment or the severity of their condition. The challenge for pharmacies will arise from the deficiency in major choice makers, according to Chris Weight, co-author of the book “Drivers of Change to Pharmaceutical Commercial Models.” They’ll have to advertise their medicines to a larger organizations: Medicaid and Medicare. Pharmacy ratings will ultimately depend on these government payers. In the United Kingdom, pharmaceutical executives market their items to public healthcare payers instead of an individual and specific market. Instead of marketing the medicines at a profitable value, the drugs are sold at the lowest possible price. This will be a major shift for many community drug stores, which supply both generic and branded medications. it’s important for local American pharmacies to consult with European companies about their buying and marketing methods.Pharmacy benefit managers will be boosted from the extended drug coverage given by Medicare, due to this policy. Expect additional medicine benefits part of your company’s medical insurance coverage. Your plan, though, can only be directed by where you work. Anticipate some limitations and added advantages together.Online pharmacies will have fewer adjustments as compared to local drug stores. They presently sell at low and practical costs to customers under a tight and tiny budget. Most online pharmacies supply generics as an alternative to the more expensive brand name medicines. These businesses need to be careful as the bill provides a 75 percent discount to generic and brand name. Nevertheless, because these online pharmacies supply a private market, they’ll have to redirect marketing to public health payers and suppliers. It is obviously a total change for an Internet business. Nonetheless, pharmaceutical websites can continue to profit from persons who favor to obtain their drugs from private suppliers. Online pharmacies continue to be a convenience for individuals who stay in far off areas or require large amounts of drugs. Individuals who’ll be enjoying the prolonged clinical plan should talk about their options with their local or online pharmacy. Buyers loyal to online pharmacies can save more cash by using the insurance plan.
