Everytime the stock market goes down like this, there’s always fear. However, are you going to sell all your holdings (stocks, housing, etc) and convert them to cash everytime this happens? This is what wallstreet wants you to do. History has always proven that people who panic (at highs AND lows) are always the ones left holding the bag… Housing prices will not fall like a rock like you say. It will move gradually. Would you rather be holding realestate or stocks in times like this?
