Gold was suppressed during the 90-s, and you should know it well. It is still suppressed. RE is kind of like gold, in a way. A real property, and a bet against the dollar -g- When the ruble crashed in 1998, RE property went up 3-fold in Russia. Sure, it got devalued some in USD, but not THAT much. To be completely honest, I am not 100% certain RE was in a huge bubble. Credit sure was. Inflation is severely underreported in the US, so everything seems bubbly, whereas it just tracks inflation. Ben keeps pressing the button for sure, so I just don't expect costs to come down or "deflation" any time soon. M3 is totally ballistic, as Ben dropped rates way below inflation. That's not deflationary by nature. The only thing I think IS in a huge bubble is the treasuries. Those are explicitly influenced by the Fed, though.
