  • Ultrashort Real Estate Drop Demonstrates Unlimited Faith in a Recovery [View article]
    It would be truly incredible if someone would explain the typical investor how the SRS vs IYR double short functions. What makes is it work? After Maddoff, I wonder if we are all being sucked into another big web of fraud?

    I have asked this question several times, but no one seems to know.

    I am shifting from SRS to buying calls on SRS. The high volatility should pay off with an even bigger multiplier, if I am right. I bought $75 strike Feb 09 calls and hope for the best. Right after I bought my calls the price of IYR dropped below $50 and my calls dropped from $6.5 to $4! Boy, this is a rough game!
