The housing crash board is unreadable at this point - way too much noise. Of course, IMO, the crash thread was ruined a few years ago by a boatload of libelous posts. I scan the board every now and then, but only read posts from a few select posters. I still bother with the stock market for that kind of stuff where fortunes are made but most everyone else who really knows RE distressed investing doesn't even care about the stock market because why gamble when you put up stunning returns with profit built into every deal and are in control (the last four years were the exception at least in my world) Both, I think, come down to having the wherewithal to spot mispricing. Real estate, I believe is a much less "efficient" market, and, therefore, a much greater reward per deal.
