Put options is all I can think off, unless you can find something that is inversely correlated to what you want to sell and go long in it. But I can't think of what that is?

ok, apparently inverse ETFs will work - they use something called "total return swaps" instead of shorting.


ETA: Ok, not only am I too slow to post, but I'm severely out-knowledged on this subject.
At least I can make up words.
