Bear market in way overvalued areas tied too much to the housing boom, trade with China and financial engineering in this credit and housing bubbles by financial institutions. Out of all the above the housing boom and demographic shifts is most phoney and unsustainable of all. So SoFlorida much more vulnerable IMHO than say LA or Boston.. Arizona more vulnerable than NYC.. ect..

Opportunities perhaps in places tied to new growth engines in the real economy with inexpensive housing, high growth rates and tons of corporations coming in that can generate proper ROE with a much lower cost base?

Whatever is next won't be headlined on CNBC until far along in the cycle. Anyone see the fiber stocks left for dead? Meanwhile most of the talk is about the housing bubble, Intel and Google<g>

I'm the oldest of the baby boomers and I'm not dead yet. Boomers are 42-60 at the top end, and are the recipients of one of the largest transfers of wealth ever. Their parents are dying and inheritance plays a much bigger part into the second home scenario than anyone ever mentions here. MP
