Wouldn't it be costly over time to be short REITs paying large dividends?

Great for that decisive moment when commercial real estate REITs tumble, but not so good otherwise.

The Inverse Russell Index ETF, TWM, has also been doing a bad job of being inverse the $RUT, which has little to do with dividends or real estate.

It looks like these short ETFs may just be bad products due to increased "borrow costs" and costs associated with re-balancing in a volatile environment.

Too bad.
