<Not to nearly the degree i see around me here now> It would be visible to anybody in corporate finance. The Japanese created this magical source of wealth -- real estate -- and used it to build an export platform with unlimited access to capital. In the US we have a few years of using real estate to buy suvs and ipods -- foolish, yes. Visible to the naked eye, yes. Sustainable, no. But in no way shape or form does the distortion in our markets compare to what happened in Japan. If real estate in Orange county was valued at more than Europe and if the DOW was at 100,000, then you would have something to compare.
