I think that we have moved into a panic driven, parabolic blowoff stage, the problem is that these things always go much higher than anybody can imagine. Nasdaq at 3500 was extremely overpriced but it still went up another 50%.

It seems that we are at a point where this bubble has become too big to fail (like you said 110M people).
In the nasdaq collapse millions had their retirement savings and brokerage accounts slashed, but overall no big deal.

This beast is different, you might potentially have millions lose their homes, banks collapse, millions lose their jobs.

What will the Fed do ?
For now, they print money in unbelievable amounts( 73 billion in just 2 weeks )

What i would do is cash out of the 700K bungalow, buy 1500 ounces of gold at $425. In a couple of years sell the gold at $1000 and repurchase the bungalow for $350K. If housing prices do not drop then gold will go to $3000, so either way you win.
