I remember listening to his “Money in the morning” program 10-15 years back on AM 1000. I did learn something about the mechanics of mortgage markets from his program but I remember him always being very cheerful about all investments, not just real estate. He was equally sunny about stocks, bonds, funds what have you. His investment mantra has always been the same – when things go down, don’t despair – just invest some more in it (he calls it “$ cost averaging”). I thought he had lost that program after the tech bubble burst and finance journalism became passe. Looks like the real estate bubble brought him back.
