Can't Short XHB? Create Your Own Homebuilders ETF to Short [view article]
I too have been unable to borrow shares in ITB, haven't tried XHB though. Can anyone recommend an inverse ETF or bear market ETF for homebuilders? This is really what's desired here as it would do best to hedge against speculation and keep trading costs and expenses low. Apr 11 02:46 PM

"Or what about Sun Microsystems? Only a couple of years ago, Sun was the undisputed leader in the market for computer servers. As the company said, it was “the dot in dot-com”. But now the combination of Linux with Intel microprocessor-based hardware has thrown Sun’s market position and future into uncertainty. And we’re not talking about a small company here: Sun still has a market capitalization of about $10 billion, though much of that reflects the company’s cash, not incremental value placed on its business by investors."

I realize this guide was written nearly 2yrs ago, but it should be noted that Sun has since acquired MySQL - a key component of both open-source and Sun proprietary technology stacks. Mar 28 06:59 PM
