Short selling is the selling of a security that the investor/trader does not own.  If you own a stock you are said to be ‘long’.

 Over certain periods of time residential property will outperform equities and vice versa but in the long run they are correlated.  We believe they are generally correlated because ultimately residential property values are determined by wealth and income levels and the best proxy for wealth and income levels is the equities market.
