Even though my home has already gone down 5% I feel so much better knowing that it is just a short correction and that the market will soon go up again. One can sleep better at night knowing that their $800,000 house (bought with a 7-year interest only ARM, no money down) that is now worth $750,000 will someday return to the peak and beyond, albeit at a slow, peaceful rise over time. Like the ripples in the ocean the market glides along smoothly, always sturdy, always heading upward.
