Declines from Peaks in Housing Show Big Disparity

Yet another story with nothing to say. Certainly, real estate prices and trends vary greatly from one place to another. That was true 6 months ago, a year ago, 5 years ago, 20 years ago, and certainly 100 years ago. The author writes as if he has found some startling hidden truth. The very fact that the "composite" number IS a composite should say that it doesn't represent the reality in any particular place.

Guess what? I found another hidden but fascinating truth! The average percentage of wins by MLB teams is UNCHANGED from last year, despite the economy. Obviously, MLB teams are UNAFFECTED by the economy. In difficult economic times, it would thus make sense to invest in MLB.

What's wrong with that? The author probably wouldn't understand. (Hint: just what IS the "average percentage of wins" for a MLB team?)
