Are we also seeing a sign that tech stocks are replacing financial institutes on the indices. First we have CISCO (CSCO) and now RedHat (RHT).

Is this also a sign that tech stocks may be the leaders in the next rally?

Short Hedge on ARE by Jonathan Moreland

Read more on shorting REITs by Jonathan Moreland.

In the article he summarizes quite well on why a ‘short’ may work for ARE. At the same time, he acknowledge that if the indices continue its rally, the short may not work out.

I think it is a fairly good read, summarizing most of the stuffs that is mention on Stripnomics as well.
