      Let \(A\) and \(B\) be invertible selfadjoint operators in a Hilbert space \(H\) such that \(A\leq B\). In this paper the question when \(A^{-1}\geq B^{-1}\) is discussed. A necessary (but not sufficient) condition is given, in terms of the null-subspaces of operators \(A\) and \(B\). It is also proved that \(A^{-1}\geq B^{-1}\) if and only if the spectrum \(\sigma(A^{-1}B)\) is non-negative.
