"public's losses in real estate and stocks "

losses in RE, depends on timing, could be no loss for 80+%
of owners, just 'loss of wealth', not 'cost-basis'.

Similarily for stocks, those who are preached for 'long term
investment', hard to escape the reality of 'loss of wealth,
again not cost-base loss'. It could have been up from 100k to
400k than back to 150k-ish. Or more speculative account, yeah,
it could be real loss, say 100k to 800k then down to 10k or .1k
