Grace, thanx for the reply. <<<markets which are way ahead of themselves >>> Out of $9 trillion RE how much is in those markets? Do you agree that the leverage has increased in RE? idorfman.com Do you agree that lending standards have been very loose, so many marginal people now own RE? If yes, don't you think that even minor correction in RE prices may cause sharp increase in defaults. RE activities (construction, selling, financing) have been supporting employment and consumption. It could be a problem if we get slowdown in these activities. Do you agree? Do you see some other activity that may pick up the slack?
