I think the link is too far, so you'll be exposed to a lot more than just the housing market. In finance, if you have a certain bet, you bet on that (and hedge against all other changes), in order for your returns to be based on your bet.

That's why hedge funds outperform on average.

Interesting... what about being long gold? I imagine that a housing crash in China would drive investors into precious metals due to the lack of options available for chinese savers.
