领航全球(美国除外)房地产ETF股票讨论

So the other day I realized that you get the cash at the time of a short sale. I remember seeing bad ETFs that are locked into a cycle of mediocrity because of an overall strategy (VNQI for instance is all real estate except the US.... which is dumb). If someone were to short VNQI and pay the shit dividend, would it be a .6% loan effectively that could be invested in VOO safely since VOO has pretty much always outperformed drasticall...
