    I don’t know about everyone else here, but it seems as though the majority have a feeling this market has still got a little wiggle room. I completely agree that fundamentally we have a ways to go in this real estate market. My biggest fear in this market is what our government can and will continue to do in helping out the ignorant and greedy person who was trying to buy a home outside their price range.

    I have been betting that our real estate market will continue to crash along with our dollar and oil will continue to rise and all of sudden oil is on the way down in a dramatic fashion and the dollar is rising on nothing but negative US news (a bit fishy if you ask me). Oh and did I mention we have a pipeline through Georgia(bypassing Russia and Iran) and Russia is currently taking that country apart piece by piece, which in most cases cause a panic with oil. There seems to be so many things that really are out of our control. If you look at fundamentals you would assume that the demand for oil hasn’t dropped overnight, but yet the price of oil seems to have lost its’ luster.

    Nothing fundamentally seems to make sense in this country anymore and we as the investor are all playing the guessing game. I feel my chances of making money on stocks and real estate are more like playing a game of Russian Roulette. Maybe my baseball cards I used to collect when I was young will start becoming valuable again?

    If the outcome isn’t matching the model based on your assumptions, you might want to check your assumptions.

    I don’t understand the oil market, I’ll just get that right out to start. I do think based on the reading I’ve done that the price of oil is declining based on demand destruction brought about by, the high price of oil. Its not just us, its Chindia as well. Is the price of oil going to decline significantly from here, I’ll leave that up to better informed commentators.

    As to the dollar, deflation strengthens it. You gotta pay off your debts with suddenly harder to get a hold of green peso like things. Either that or you default. If enough people default then credit creation is halted. Note thats what the fed is fighting and failing to stop, with 2% interest rates. If your economy is dependent on ever increasing credit, merely slowing its growth rate causes the contraction to strengthen which becomes a viscious circle.
