Ted, The majority of the people making large, tax free gains are middle income, many of whom have lived in their houses for decades and are getting ready to retire.

Yes, I realize that. They will be the ones who make out like bandits in this market. So will the money lenders spamming their "free money" ads all over the place, whether it be radio, TV, Internet, or junk snail mail.

The ones holding the bag will be the first-time home buyers, which pretty much means our generation. The Greatest Generation is dying off, and the Baby Boomers already got theirs, so what does that leave us?

You have no statistics on that.

The fact is that you likely will never be able to do the same.
