For the current bubble (assuming there will be one)  the hedge funds are not only playing the upside by buying tons of houses (at one point in Atlanta 25% of houses were going to hedge funds or similar big players), they will play the downside (like a violin) as well.  

They aren't trading (selling) a player, because they don't own the player that may be chosen with that pick, and that would be wrong.
