Inverse ETFs for your IRA and Freeriding

[pmcint01]

So is it not possible to be in an inverse ETF for less than 1 day when you have a cash account IRA without viloating the freeriding law?

i think it still requires 3 days to settle those funds following sale regardless (the buyer may be on margin-you dont know). but of course if you have other cash on sidelines you can use that anytime.
