Have Investors Reached the Point of Maximum Pessimism?

We're not even close. When we're in max pessimism, you won't want to ask about stock market.

As far as housing itself though, we're close.... After 2009's alt-A collapse (and potential subsequent flying of interest rates), we may be at a time that the world "House Purchase" would sound to society like someone committing financial suicide. When people try to persuade friends out of buying houses as if they're persuading an alcoholic to not drink, *THAT* is when we reached the bottom in housing.
