This fund is supposed to move inversely to the real estate market. Although I believe the market is due for another downturn after QE II, I believe this fund has also been being affected by non-true real estate activity due to the Fed monitized Freddie & Fannie mortgage programs offered to upside down mortgage owners. While true housing & real estate have tanked since the economic crisis, this fund has also tanked in seemingly lock -step fashion. Something smells foul.

Remember a year ago when all the problems of commercial real estate surfaced? They haven't gone away  but the price of the securitied properties has risen 150%. They have rallied back to their OCT 2008 breakdown like everything in the market has done. The pundits would have you believe that the consumer is back making commercial real estate a good investment.  I am betting against that idea with an investment in this double short  real estate ETF.  I think it is at least a double and will probably see 120 in the next 2 years as reality sets in and the fake recovery is unmasked. This is my f...

Inverse ETFs: Four ways to bet on a market decline Graphic_rating_buy SRS

Filed under: Major movement, Newsletters, Mutual funds, S and P 500, DJIA, Stocks to Buy

"We see the growing risk of a watershed decline very soon," warns Martin Weiss, editor of The Safe Money Report. For those looking to speculate on a downside move, or to hedge an otherwise long portfolio, the advisor looks at several inverse ETFs which benefit from a drop in stocks.

"With a new, potentially bigger wave of the credit crisis sweeping Wall Street, and with the latest energy price surge gutting corporate profits, the U.S. stock market is poised to suffer a far sharper and deeper decline.

But first, a hello to all those new followers.  Apparently SocialPicks rejiggered the way they do their ratings, and I've found myself pretty consistently up on the leader board.  This apparently has attracted a few new people (since it's certainly not my writing that keeps you coming back).  I suspect after < />< />< />< /><>< />< /><>< />< /><><>< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< /><>< />< />< />< />< />< /><><>< />< />< />< /><>< />< /><><><>< />< />< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><>...

Reasons to short

The growth of the mortgage industry was fueled by cheap credit.The interest rates were so low that financial firms were finding it difficult to get good returns.And the person on the street was not getting returns for being frugal and saving money.The savings accounts paid too little.This caused  a shift in money into other asset classes like stocks and real estate.As a result we had a boom in both asset classes.As a result people began to feel wealthy.And prices were coming down because they were being manufactured in low cost countries like China.The banks in their< />< /><>...

I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting the real estate and financial sectors to hold up as well as they have over the past few months.<!--more--> My ultra-short positions (UltraShort Real Estate ProShares (SRS) and UltraShort Financials ProShares (SKF)) have taken a beating, and readers have been emailing and asking what gives. How can these sectors be stabilizing and advancing amidst the flurry of bad news? Here is a quote from an Associated Press article detailing the phenomenon:

  This ETF seeks daily investment results which correspond to twice the inverse of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate index.  The Down Jones U.S. Real Estate Index offers a broad-based exposure to commercial real estate and is still  expensive after two years of housing slaughter.I recognize it is hardly a perfect vehicle to short CRE – its components are some of the most solid companies out there – but unfortunately it is the only broad tool I know of.   The holdings in the index are trading at an average P/E of 24 and  nearly twice of book.

With the 500 point rally in the DOW over the last three days....It will move inversely with the DOW. Target is $108 to $112. (If the Market rallies another 300 or 400 points, we will look to buy more around the $92 level.)
