Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
I've toyed with throwing some speculative $$ into the CLIX ETF, but it doesn't hold many mall operators, just retail companies who have presences in malls..
The ProShares Long Online/Short Stores Index combines a 100% long position in retailers that primarily sell online or through other non-store channels with a 50% short position in those that rely principally on revenue from physical stores. A potential advantage is that the long and short positions may offset one another, resulting in a lower net exposure to the direction of the market.
