    Nice. I never short equities. REITs, or ETFs. Thanks for the great layout of equities to avoid going long.

Disclosure: Cryptocurrency based Exchange Traded Products (ETPs)

Disclosure: ETNs

Exchange-traded notes (ETNs) are unsecured debt subject to the issuer's credit risk; ETNs do not provide an ownership interest in any underlying assets. Many ETNs are intended for short-term trading and may not be appropriate for intermediate- or long-term investment time horizons. ETNs may be thinly traded, can become illiquid, and may trade at a market price significantly different (a premium or discount) from their indicative value. ETNs may exhibit extreme market price movements, which can occur quickly and unexpectedly. Some ETNs are callable or redeemable by the issuer before their stated maturity date. In the event of early redemption, you are likely to lose all or a part of your initial investment. The tax treatment of ETNs is uncertain and may vary from what is described in the prospectus.
