<<SRS is really a pretty crappy instrument compared with simply shorting IYR>> I totally agree about SRS. Any Ultra fund (long or short) whose underlying has high random volatility will have really bad slippage because of the basic math of how they work: siliconinvestor.com siliconinvestor.com SDS is OK for long-term hold because the SPX index has relatively low random volatility: finance.yahoo.com But SRS, SKF, FXP etc. are terrible: finance.yahoo.com However, the double long funds also slip a bit. So I think shorting URE will probably be better (and give you more bang for the buck) than IYR. Edit: although URE has only 1/10 the volume of IYR, so you may not find any shares to borrow.
