A decade of inflation was priced in to the bubble markets at the top<g>

Now oversupply and stupid greedy speculators along with an entire industry too caught up in the nonsense with their hands in the cookie jar won't get to benefit when the real deal happens though I'm sure you, me and Mike Johnson will<g>

Bush's Ownership Society and debt slavery for J6P goes full circle by then. Hillary will be too late to save the day for the people but will only accelerate the move to the next cycle for those who are still standing<g>

Yes, real estate is a great hedge against inflation, however it has had a huge run already, it will underperform inflation for the next few years.
Flat real estate prices for the next few years in time of 15% inflation, combined with rising cost of upkeep, taxes and insurance and low single digit rental returns, will not provide a great inflation hedge.
