Good idea.

Problem is, you have to convince people who haven't done much reading on the subject that many folks who survived or profited from the Depression did so by owning and holding onto real estate of one form or another.

That concept won't go over real big on this thread right now. <gg>

They owned bonds. Bonds work great during a deflation. I doubt that we will see the sort of monetary deflation that occurred in the 1930s.
