That's pretty funny. Claiming someone's data and their statistical interpretation of the data is wrong because they won't interview people.
I stopped reading Rich's reports, because he uses data to speculate, instead of using facts/interviews to understand.
That makes no sense at all. Real data and real numbers are about as factual as you can get. Interviews and opinions from those in the trench are just that… opinions. I would not trust what RE agents and most economists have to say since they have been the benefactors and in most respects the promoters of the current asset bubble. There has never been a precedent for the current bubble so someone's “expert” opinion on what will happen next is pure SPECULATION.
She should probably get her terminology down since there is a big difference between interpretation and speculation. Rich has been really good at presenting and interpreting data so that we as readers can digest it and decide if it makes sense.
That is the proper way to educate and enlighten people.
