The whole economy is levered up like never before. That can't end well. Yes in spades with everything except housing. Calculated Risk has some brilliant charts. Mortgage debt levels low relative to asset values, real estate investment to GDP still at low levels, foreclosure rates at cycle lows. So lots of room to grow there versus everything else if current dynamics remain the same.. Trying to deregulate banking like 1998-2000 a tight balancing act.. Don't want repeat of 2004-06 but Dodd Frank went way too far as did the fed and hurt the people who should have been helped as the working and middle class shut out of housing when prices were low..... If interest rates go way up is game over IMHO..

Mindmeld, I'm worried about the next downturn as well, especially because none of the issues from the last financial crisis were resolved, which is something you and I have talked about at length. Can't be. We have Dowd-Fwank. We have controls over subprime mortgages. We can't possibly be in a bubble again. #sarcasm Tenchusatsu
