    To me, HUN is the most attractive one since tons of its five star rating just come in recently in the past 2 weeks. The other stocks, the five star ratings have sit there for longer than 1 or 2 month.

    Be very careful with the double short ETF's. Recent studies have shown they have very imperfect contra correlation with the underlying stocks. Single shorts have a greater probability. If you use a double short, you need to watch it daily and get out within a week.
