Jim: most people I know are terrified of REITs because they all lost a huge amount of money in the old real-estate limited partnership scams- I wonder if the feds are willing to crush the market to create a generation who lost so much money in the stock market and rising debt load they are forced into saving. When enough money is lost in a sector or investment it seems to scare off an entire generation of potential buyers.
I find it real curious that a collapse in metals prices is followed with a collapse of the currencies holding the assets, so the metals and commodities are now worthless. IMHO one should buy South Africa and Chile when they hit bottom this time. This is why I am holding microcap value funds, we have the heights of speculative mania drawing money into the market at the same time that the depths of a bear market are happening. It will not be obvious where the money is headed until after it moved, unfortunately.
