I own one, a fund that shorts RE. It hasn't been a big winner for me, but it's in the green lately.

It seems to me a time of market decline would be the time to learn how to short. People have to start somewhere - I understand it in principle, I just have never done it.

It's taken a long time to develop a consistent long strategy that works. I'd rather not short really.
