Hard to beat the compound equity from leveraged fixed rate cash flowing real estate in worst hit still fast growing markets as you well know. I'm still thinking we are 2-4 years away as we have to get through another wave or two of distressed asset sales in the states, several more crisis' worldwide including several bursting of housing bubbles in fast growing far east and south america, chronic high unemployment, continued deleveraging of excess debt plus the constraining factors in a new age order of high productivity gains, globalization and instantaneous information courtesy of the internet all of which were not present in the 1970's + anything else I missed that deflationary king Mish points out on his blogs...

One thing I could never get an answer to was why interest rates remained so low after WWII till the late 1960's even though we had record total debt to GDP well above even today, inflation remained high and the all pent up demand coming out of 15 years of hell plus the baby boom as well as rebuilding of Europe and Japan.
