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

"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.

[ The soundtrack to this post is  available here: http://underheard.org/~toxic/sp/srs.m3u   I highly suggest that you start listening to it now, because I'm going to start this post with the standard disclaimer. ]

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< />< /><>...

Real Estate and Financials: Sell the Rally Graphic_rating_buy SRS

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:

I have been watching Renesola (SOL) since it was first listed on the New York Stock Exchange back in late January. <!--more-->I bought my first round of shares at $11.60 and watched the stock price drop below $8 without breaking a sweat.

  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.)

market moving, may swing up short ETF’s don’t make it when the market returns to the bull. Take the gains and run. This is not the time to be in ETF’s. Good time to buy those great stocks, which were hurt during the down turn.

This pick is similar to a number of other ones I made today to prove to myself that during a bad market time there are stocks that rally on a sour market and can turn a buck, the trick is knowimg when the market bottoms out and get these stocks out before they drop in value. I explain this in little more detail in my blog.

Tightening lending will affect earnings potential of REIT
- Higher interest cost lower earnings
- Less buyers to keep prices going up

Correction in residential REIT spilling to consumption and REIT market gives upside.
