short or ultrashort bond ETFs

does anyone know of any?

This type of ETF is extremely new but here are two of them. It's probably a very good idea to short bonds because those yields are insanely low, they are bound to skyrocket back to historical averages.

that is exactly what's on my mind...

i can't really express the feelings i have on this prospect but very similar to something like "to good to be true?"
