have stayed away from shorting the housing stocks because of the persistent "false demand" created by artificially low rates and increasingly lax lending standards

better yet... who cares about shorting when... you can borrow the hell out of this environment we are in and use it wisely, well structured and be ready to pay it back when they hike rates [assuming they can] -lol

i am trying to remember how long the low rates in yen lasted and it was invested elsewhere...

what did they called it... Yen carry ? [or something like that -g]

what makes it interesting is that history repeats itself..... *but not quite exactly*
