extreme obnoxiousness seems to go with real estate, at least on the bullish side. i recall smugness certainty, and condescension from real estate cheerleaders, no w ay tor ationally discuss issues. it seems much more obnoxious to be an in-your-face, watch out for the next 40% chunk, real estate bear. each side is kind of irritating in its own way. the bull seems less mean-spirited because supposedly all he wants is for everyone to become rich, to bring others into the ponzi scheme, and to enlighten others about the easy way to make money. the cheerleading bear, on the other hand, is trying to potentially profit off of others mistakes and misery, to bring down the value of the whole system, to basically make us all “poorer”. but really, the bull is just as much trying to profit off of other’s misery and mistakes.
