No, because you need a home to live. OP is arguing that living in a home you don't own and being exposed to the housing market through your rent costs is equivalent to being 'short'.

Okay that's a fair point. In the housing case, you aren't simply not participating; your money is exposed to the housing market in the form of rent. I buy that.
