Yes, the way Britain and Australia are holding up after housing has stalled is puzzling. It's easy to dismiss Australia with only 20 million people, they are just riding on the global boom - but Britain has 60 million people. Maybe everything is fine as long as assets are inflating somewhere? Or maybe housing is now just a small side show in the global credit bubble? Still, it has got to be a pretty significant blow to the credit bubble if US housing busts.

"The housing bubbles in Britain and Australia have rolled over but the corrections have been modest so far and their economies continue to grow." Only because, USA, the bubble capital of the world is still sucking imports and keeping the rest of the world going. On the other hand the US housing bubble generates enormous liquidity for the world casino, allowing players to gamble forever.
