If you want to start going to the gym then you will need the right sort of gym workout clothes to ensure that you are comfortable and fashionable. There are several different brands, colors, styles and prices to choose from and which ones you choose will be your personal choice and budget. Going to the gym is a fantastic way to lose weight and get fit and if you want to go often then you will need to have the correct workout apparel.Depending on how often you intend to go to the gym will determine how much you spend on the gym workout clothes. You need to ensure that they are loose fitting and that they are fabrics which will keep you cool. You need the moisture to be taken away from your body when exercising and certain fabrics will do this easily. Cotton is often thought of to help with the moisture but in fact it can become quite heavy when damp and this can in fact hinder you in the gym. Lightweight cotton can be worn as your workout apparel and this can help you to remain cool and dry.You need to consider what gym workout clothes you can afford as some of them are very expensive and if you are only using the gym once or twice then you do not need to spend a fortune. You also need to consider when you are aiming to use the gym as this will determine the style of clothing necessary. If you are visiting in the winter then leggings or jogging bottoms will be preferable over shorts. All of the workout apparel needs to be loose and not tight fitting as this will stop your movements and not allow you to move the gym equipment easily.You need to ensure that you buy good quality trainers and socks which will help your feet not to rub on the trainers and your feet to become sore. Good quality socks will keep your feet dry, blister free and comfortable for the whole time you are in the gym. All women need to consider buying a good quality sports bra as well as this will offer good support when exercising in the gym. Whatever gym workout clothes you decide on they need to be what you like. You should never buy clothing of any sport because you feel that you should or need to.Although you need the workout apparel to be comfortable and long lasting it should also make you feel good when wearing it. If you want to exercise often then you should consider spending more on your workout apparel as it will last longer. Good quality clothing can be washed often and will not lose its shape or style. You won’t have to replace your gym workout clothes often because they are looking worn, faded and badly fit. If you look and feel great when you enter the gym then you are more likely to have a fantastic workout. Going to the gym is a great way to lose weight and ensure that you are keeping fit and healthy.
SPDN: An Inexpensive Way To Profit When The S&P 500 Falls
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.
