    Profit from potential home price drop in Canada, especially Vancouver and Toronto

    Shorting housing has been hard because there’s no way to borrow a house and short it and then buy it back at a lower price. however someone has already given the playbook on how to do it. Someone who swings billions of notional in FX (among other trading strategies) should be buying CDS on...

    There she goes (McDonalds)
