"Do you think there is a better chance of a soft landing in Real Estate opposed to what happened to the NASDAQ in 2000?"

I think RE is going to get hit a lot harder than most think.there is a lot of leverage in RE you did not have in the Nas.Think about it,Most of the money in the market was in IRA's and 401K's.Paid for with cash.:-)

"Still begs the question. Why does the FED and Congress allow dangerous bubbles in the first place"

I have often asked myself that same question.The interesting thing is that they usually do what they can to pop the bubble AFTER it is a problem.Go figure.

Bubbles and manias have been around since before Congress and the Fed. Congress and the Fed do seem to think they are in the business of making them worse, however, or creating bubbles where none previously would have existed. Just doing their part to make sure taxpayers get their money's worth.
