    • U.S. Housing Market Forecast: 2008-2010 [view article]
      I sold my house 2 years ago and I am am proud renter who saw this coming. The only problem is what to do with $ you got from selling your house.
      Inflation will kill any gains in bonds. Stockmarket is not safe either. Consumption of gold has declined significantly in India (the biggest market), and in a recesion you can expect further declines. At some point people will start buing realstate because that might seem the safest place once inflation start so spiral out of control, markets continue to decline and comodity buble burst.
      Buying and renting houses will become profitable very soon and it will be safer than stock and dividens.

      V P/E is similar to MA, so market share does not matter because it is already reflected in multiple. Consumers might use their credit card more as it is the only available credit they still have, but with the interest rates credit cards charge, consumers will have to eventually cut back. I can see V going up for a little while but I am waiting on the sideline looking for the euphoria to pass before going short Mar 21 01:52 PM
