Best Trade Ideas for Shorting Consumer Credit

[PoundTheRock]

From The Kobeissi Letter

"The U.S. Now Has:

1. Record $16.5 trillion in household debt
2. Record $11.9 trillion in mortgages
3. Record $1.6 trillion in auto loans
4. Record $986 billion in credit card debt

Total mortgage debt is now more than double the 2006 peak. Meanwhile, 36% of Americans have more credit card debt than savings with balances rising at the fastest pace since 1999. This is all while mortgage rates just hit 7.1% and credit card debt rates hit a record 24.9%."

Some trade ideas:

• Long-term puts on the credit card companies, e.g., Visa ($V)
• Long Financial Bear ETFs: $FAZ, $FINZ
• CDS on consumer debt securities

Any other ideas?
