REITs vs. Homebuilders -- Not What You Think

Hogwash. If you look at EQR vs SPDR between inception and May, you'll find that the 2 stocks track one another. If you look at the 2 stocks between August and now, you'll find that they again track one another. There was a period during the summer (May - August) where SPDR got hammered. But to say that these 2 stocks are inverses of one another would be a mistake.
