Participant[quote=zk]You need our opinion as to the accuracy of that prediction?
I’ve got a used car that I predict will appreciate 30% in value by next year. Wanna buy it?
[/quote]If that used car is a clunker currently worth less than $1000, it WILL increase in value by at least 30% over the next 6 months if the cash for clunkers passes.
Participantflu – Good advice. One that would probably be good to incorporate generally into my short-term trading bucket of $.
sdduuuude – Would that be a backward N-shaped recovery ? I could see rate jumps in say late ’09 or early 2010 that might trigger the scenario you describe.
carlsbadworker – I agree. I have been avoiding any kind of bond or bond funds and opting for short-term cash for the better part of the past 3 years. I missed out on a significant bond rally, but don’t want to be holding the bag when rates start moving up again.

now, comes the hard part.. actually manage to stop seeking out the info and “let it go” for the time being.[/quote]I have been trying to “let it go” since 1995. I think that tracking real estate as a future, past or current owner (or combinations thereof) is an incurable disease, which many of us suffer.[/quote]
FormerSanDiegan, have you really been looking seriously at RE without buying since 1995? I thought no one came close to how extreme I was.
I don’t think I’ll reveal here, even in the safe Pigg nest, how long I’ve been looking without buying. But I was infected with the “tracking RE” disease before most Piggs were born. It really is incurable.[/quote]
No. I am a future, past, AND current owner (hence my comment about combinations). I’ve owned three houses in San Diego (two at a time from ’00 to ’05) and currently still have one rental there.
When I was researching before buying our first house in the mid 90’s I caught the fever and have been tracking ever since. I used to log the median prices printed in the U-T every month for my favorite zip codes and plot these over time, looking at the past bust in the early 90’s. Being an analytical type, the emergence of blogs like this one and “webification” of data has only sucked me in further.
I am a hopeless case.
