I think that I will park my cash then in money market and growth funds to ride this storm out. Renting an apartment does suck but its better than losing money in the long run. At least, I do not have to mow a lawn or do maintenance work.
I hope that the real estate market in overpriced San Diego and southern California crashes and burns! Then we can laugh at idiots like George Chamber-chowderhead on KOGO and throw eggs (metaphorically speaking) on the scummy realtors and scam artists who are little better than used car and insurance sales people and lawyers.
I want people to go back to an honest system of living and not one of predatory profiteering.
