4plex, maybe, good points, you are probably right but then again R/E was both about buying and selling, the crazy loans were also about buying and selling (as in people buying the MBS’ behind the loans) but it wasn’t as public, more institutional. It’s not exactly the same, just similar, maybe I’m being too bubble sensitive since the latest one is still fresh in my mind. I’ve always liked the metals, little 1 oz silver bars were my first investment as a teenager, I’m sentimental about them, but I realize that I am and try not to overdo it. I was just thinking out loud because the very same people who jump from bubble to bubble have jumped into gold. In fact when that friend approached me about the gold party, I thought is was going to be about mon-a-vie, boot camp fitness franchises, amway or whatever get rich quick thing that they usually dive into, once they said gold, I thought to myself, “I may need to check and see what investments I have that are related to gold and get rid of them.”
Matt, no need to recap your answer, I just visited your site and realized you have already adressed this. Nice writing style, props!
