I think it is good to have other points of view on the site.
Bear or bullish sentiment, I am always curious to see that alot of emotion always seems to bubble up so to speak in many posts. Bitterness or not, trying to keep perspective is important and trying to keep things factual or near factual based on some analysis is always helpful.
I actually do not think it matters if people are bitter or not. You can call them bitter renters or call me a bitter renter ((I do rent even though I own a couple places) oh yeah and I AM MUCH MORE BITTER for not going to Broadcom pre-IPO in the 90’s when I had a chance then I am about not leveraging on RE) The mentality and behavior of posters may be driven by personal or emotional matters, however if this depreciation cycle is to act temporally like others in the past then it would be a no brainer to admit we have a long ways to go. Thus the bearish sentiment (whether driven by bitterness or not) is accurate wouldn’t you say?
I know the point of this post is not to discuss how far into the depreciation cycle we are, or whether you think it is just starting or near over or anything like that. However, the tone of the post does seem to be somewhat inciteful. Look, if there is A SINGLE PERSON who does not have regret about a decision made or opportunity missed, then crown that guy king
or name him Tom Brady
however we all live with those missed chances. I am not sure that it is fair to paint every poster here that is bearish with that brush.
