Thanks Joan. I think it's a good idea for investors to know the best options in a deflation. High quality bonds are good. Gold is good. Cash is good. Cash has been a great investment, relatively speaking, over the past year and a half- particularly the US$.

Real Estate has peaked, IMO. BTW- The house across the street I was talking about in that post: Message 15552805
They lowered the asking price another 5-6% before it sold. Sell price was probably 15% less than it probably appraised for bottom line.

I would guess that urban areas will be hit harder than rural, and high end housing more than low end. At the end of a deflation is actually a good time to move up in housing. If housing loses say, 30%. Your net gain in moving from a 100K house to a 200 k house is 70K after 30% is knocked off both. Unfortunately, alot of folks have timed it exactly wrong, and moved up at the peak in valuation. Lets hope wages don't deflate, or there's gonna be a world of hurt there..

GOOD / BAD
Housing is bad- stocks are bad. Any more ideas (or disagreements with these?)
Article idea, Paul?? <g>
