    I have held BBOZ and BEAR in the past without really understanding how to use these instruments. I have learnt a bit more since then. They are difficult to use and not long term defensive investments as portrayed, I did not loose too much at that time.Having said that I think that buying now/soon could be OK, keeping a close watch and taking profit without being greedy.
    Like many investors commenting in this thread, I cannot understand why the market is doing so well, maybe all those gamblers with their super deciding to play.
    I note that the institutional investors are cashed up waiting for the fall.
    I have sold recently and will make a modest investment in BBOZ.
    I think that Betashares are being a little deceptive in describing these as defensive as per this webinar:
