How To Short The Market?

Without a margin account. I know there are inverse ETFs but those are short term plays. I'm wondering if there are vehicles that allow for long term shorting of the market?

You mean like DOG? Short Dow 30 fund.

I thought DOG is an inverse ETF? i read a bunch of stuff online that says inverse ETFs are bad in the long run since they have erosion due to daily rebalancing?

In a bull market you will lose more than just being short on an inverse ETF, but in a bear market you'll win. Timing is everything.
