Quote from Deadwood:
Boy, you must be really, really angery. All this negative trash talking at xmas time no less. Would it make you feel better if all homeowners went broke? LOL!
I'm thinking your a very young, not so well off, and not very good looking guy whose all alone, spending xmas in his 900sqft apt, wishing he had 1/4 of my net worth. Not to mention people who loved him to share it with.
You know as those tech stocks burned in 2001 I had my best year ever in the market. Didn't lose my job even though the whole business was built on selling to tech companies, either. Your obviously young as you seem almost hyper-emotional. You've never seen cycles play out. I doubt you even remember 1987, let alone the crash. And you certainly don't remember the early 80's with interest rates of 19%- talk about bad for housing, yowza!
Bottomline, what your suggesting has little to do with economic reality and everything to do with your personal emotions. I'm sorry things aren't working out for you. Maybe 2008 will be better. But it sounds like you need to do some growing up first, then we can have a rational, logical discussion about real estate and other investment vehicles. Right now your not in a place to be able to do that.
Sad, real sad. Just know that trying to spread your venom isn't going to change your sitituation.
