BubblesitterParticipant
I’m personally still heavily invested in gold, via ETFs.
I had liquidated a bunch when it was approaching $1000 last year, and put it in a 6month CDs at FDIC insured institutions.
At one time a couple years ago I was 80% stocks. I am essentially completely out of the market now.
Here’s a cronology of my thinking on gold over the last 2 years and litte more on my personal situation.

When house shopping with my wife, we won’t even look at houses with pools.
You are lowering the pool of potential buyers, especially those with small kids. Every year I read multiple stories in the UT about kids drowning, getting paralyzed in backyard pool accidents.

BubblesitterParticipantI agree that anybody who bought at the peak is f’d.
They will have to eat a big loss, or just stay put for the next 5-10 years. Then again, anyone buying a house should’ve planned on staying there 7-10 year minimum anyway.I do believe that are a good number of people on the sidelines such as myself. Saving up a large downpayment, waiting to pounch when opportunity arises. Question is are there enough of us to offset the impact of the stuck “wanna be” move up buyers.
