by Tony Sagami

Are real estate prices headed lower? I think so, but as always, timing is everything.

When real estate does drop, one of the best ways to profit is by buying shares of ProShares Short Real Estate (REK), an ETF designed to deliver the inverse performance of the Dow Jones US Real Estate Index.

Candidates for Short-Selling

by Dan Ferris

When we sell a stock short, we flip our criteria for buying a stock upside down.

But when we go to short, we choose companies that have a competitive position that's getting worse and worse, and is in fact beyond the point of no return, but that we feel the market hasn't really punished enough yet.

You can find a company that is down 50% or 60% and it can still be a good short. Usually, stocks that trade at 52-week lows don't perform well going forward.

Scott Fearon – the author of the book Dead Companies Walking – likes to short only when a stock is down 50% or more.

Our Bonus Short Plays

1. Short Citi: Recommended August 18. Up about 1.4% since then. No change to this recommendation. Citigroup Inc (NYSE: C) is a derivative-riddled monster that has bitten off more than it can chew.

2. Short Mall REITS: Recommended May 10. Simon Property Group Inc (NYSE: SPG) is up a little over 1% and General Growth Properties Inc (NYSE: GGP) is down a little more than 1% since then. No change to this recommendation. Retail is getting worse.

3. Short HY Bonds: Recommended July 26. iShares iBoxx High Yield Corp Bond ETF(NYSE Arca: HYG), and the SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: JNK) are each up about 2%, while iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE Arca: EEM) is up about 6%. No change to this recommendation. The high yield sector is getting more overvalued while defaults continue to rise rapidly.

4. Short Euro Banks/Euro: Recommended June 16. Since then, Vanguard Total International Bond ETF (NASDAQ: BNDX), iShares International Treasury Bond ETF (Nasdaq: IGOV), and SPDR Barclays International Treasury Bonds ETF (NYSEArca: BWX) are all up 1 to 2%, while ProShares Short Euro (EUFX) is up 0.85%. No change to this recommendation. The Euro will weaken long-term.

5. Short China/Chinese Stock Market: Recommended January 29. iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM), iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI), and iShares MSCI Singapore ETF (EWS) are up 25%, 24%, and 18% respectively. No change to this recommendation.

6. Short Yen/Japanese Stock Market: Recommended May 6. Since then, CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust ETF (FXY) and iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ) are up about 4.8% and 8.6%. I am pulling this recommendation. Japan is going to weaken the yen and that should push the stock market higher.
