Hi Dave, <<pessimism>> here ... equals optimistic anticipation, as in the parents are off to party and Karen is coming over for homework in the den :0) Chugs, Jay

>>. I don't think you can summarize all of this as mass pessimism<< What about mass blindness? I would prefer DJ's wrong and the ROTW drives down the yellow brick road into the rainbow (some collateral damage on my side, easily contained). However, I cant help but look at the numbers and say to the driver:"hey, watch it, there's a problem just around the corner". Message 16029578

I don't know which real estate bubble you're referring to. Where I live, there was some appreciation, but prices have stalled considerably in the last 12 months. This is one of the top 5 school districts in my state, one of the top 10 towns most requested of real estate agents. Bubble on the west coast? I can see that. Still, I haven't read an article in recent memory that hasn't had some kind of paragraph that ended in a fashion similar to yours.... Then again, I read the Economist almost exclusively, and they've had their finger on that button for 4 years.
