What would be the best way to do this? Is there an index fund or something that is based on shorts? Sorry for the lack of knowledge.

I have n account with Charles Schwab and it's pretty straightforward to short a stock or etf: https://www.schwab.com/resource-center/insights/content/what...

there's inverse ETF's. SPXS is a leveraged "bear fund" that gains value as the S&P500 decreases in value. SPXS is particular will move 3X the movement of the S&P500 so a loss of 1% in the market is a gain of 3% in SPXS.

SPXS has been an awful fund to hold since 2009.

Be careful with leveraged ETFs because of decay. They are really only good to hold short periods.
