What is the S and P 500 Index?
The S&P 500 is a value weighted index published since 1957 of the prices of 500 large cap common stocks actively traded in the United States. The stocks included in the S&P 500 are those of large publicly held companies that trade on either of the two largest American stock markets, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Almost all of the stocks included in the index are among the 500 American stocks with the largest market capitalizations. After the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 is the most widely followed index of large-cap American stocks. It is considered a bellwether for the American economy, and is included in the Index of Leading Indicators. Some mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other managed funds, such as pension funds, are designed so as to mimic the performance of the S&P 500 index. Hundreds of billions of US dollars have been invested in this fashion. The index is the best known of the many indices owned and maintained by Standard & Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill. S&P 500 refers not only to the index, but also to the 500 companies that have their common stock included in the index. The ticker symbol for the S&P 500 index varies. Some examples of the symbol are GSPC, INX and $SPX. The stocks included in the S&P 500 index are also part of the broader S&P 1500 and S&P Global 1200 stock market indices.

What is nifty and BSE?
Two completely different things. There are two stock exchanges in India--the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). NIFTY is kinda like the Dow Jones Industrial Average--it's an index of fifty blue-chip stocks that trade on the National Stock Exchange. You can trade against this like you can trade against the S&P 500 or any other stock index.

Where can you short the total stock market index?
The easiest way to short the overall stock market is with ETF's. ProShares Short S&P 500, ticker SH, is not leveraged, ie. if the S&P declines 1%, the ETF increases 1%. Or you can invest in ProShares UltraShort S&P 500, ticker SDS, which is leveraged 2.5 to 1; thus if the S&P declines 1%, the ETF increases 2.5%. Good luck.
