If you are interested in going short bonds, consider buying the ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF (NYSE: TBT). This security seeks daily investment results that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse of the daily performance of the Barclays Capital 20+ Year U.S. Treasury Bond Index. If Treasury prices fall on the long end, and yields rise, the TBT will appreciate in value.
