the difference has to do with leverage and derivatives, culture vs pop culture, tradition against spin, truth as opposed to facts you obviously have learned all the wrong lessons apparently mistaking a cold countertop with a hot stove you apparently, in full character, are fixated on the object of focus, and have completely missed the fabric behind the object of focus, per wonder not what this Message 26457027 is talking about, for it is about you

so, you think america had a housing price bubble, when in real terms its housing price had been collapsing since 1999? and you are apparently of the opinion that the housing debt bubble, at zero per cent down, is an inconsequential feature that the absence of which would cause housing 'bubbles' around the world to collapse in a similar fashion? you are not very observant, are you? let me help you for you see, should you try harder, the americans had been played, like just so propublica.org (courtesy of one named ramsey) , even as its housing price collapsed 80% against gold, the true measure, starting in 1999 and, i quote ramsey, "In hind sight, it is even more laughable now that Bernanke actually believes the Federal Reserve has the expertise to regulate Wall Street. As for the hedge funds like Paulson, it is more important to them that these instruments are created so they have billions upon billions to short, the toxicity of the underlying junk is just extra gravy. Finally, that is such a good example of how rotten to the core our financial system is. All these instruments are created solely for the purpose of making money for a few individuals with no contribution whatsoever to the economy" regarding the china real estate bubble, i say Message 26469359
