I've been seeing some weakness in both biotech and real estate index lately. I am playing the short side of Real Estate by going long on DRV. What is the best way to short Biotech sector??? Is it by buying puts on IBB or shorting IBB? The spread on IBB is a little wide for me.
 
IBB is a high priced etf, so the spread is not that consequent, also you should get filled nearb mid point.
I short it regulary for swing trades, as i'm afraid to short single biotech names and haven't encountered much of an issue so far
 
BIS

If you time it right you will make a lot of money...very risky etf but that's how all 2x and 3x etfs are.....

Biotech stocks have literally been on a tear for years now....how much more upside they have I don't know but once the sell off comes you could make some good money shorting..
 
First, screen the biotech sector for stocks trading for less than $10 that have gained or lost the greatest percentage amount over the past day for short-term trading or the last week for long-term short-side investing.
