  1. Well written and well thought through dear boy.
    Are you referring to the Military / Industrial / banking complex as the US?

    If you are hoping to include the US middle class, please put that silly notion aside as they are all tapped out and now being replaced by other emerging middle classes.
    And it is the MC who hold the RE

    Hence my statement stands " RE is a runaway train......"

  2. Is there a security thats derived from the housing market? Can you hedge your housing assets against the market until the correction is over?

  3. A recent ride going north on Sheridan Road in Chicago, revealed a "For Sale", or "Open House" sign on every block in Rogers Park. The next neighborhood north - Evanston - is the beginning of Chicago's swanky "north shore". Evanston had nearly as many "For Sale" signs. The next neighborhood is Wilmette. 3 houses for sale there, on my brother-in-law's street of 12 houses. 2 people waited too long for a high price, and, unfortunately, the third had his engineering job shipped overseas.
