Most of us on this forum (for the last few years I might add) have been asking your same questions.

We are all agreed the market has turned, and is headed down. The questions now are, for long, and how low. Lots of very smart people on here have answered many related questions, using very good data. This is called forecasting. It’s used all the time in business. Each week new data comes out that helps us revise these answers.

To answer your question about the run-up: yes, most of us did know the market would go up during that time period. What we didn’t know was for how long, and how high. I think it exceeded everyone’s imaginations.

I think you are just badgering us when asking for winning lotto numbers, no? In any case, here they are: 20, 12, 87, 92, 41, 43.

Just based on what I think will happen with financing, I’m thinking the projections for the 50% correction off peak will eventually prove out to be overly conservative.

Seriously, Bugs?

I think this is the first time I’ve seen you put a number on this whole debacle.

Everything you’ve said has come true over the last two years.

YIKES!

Atlas is getting closer to completion. The front retail portion still looks like it has a ways to go, but the condos have stucco…. I’m estimating about another 2 months tops.

What’s that? About a year and half late?

Is there any way anyone here on Piggington would buy one now though?

Perry, what happened with your aunt?

Yes, this board has exposed to me many, many great minds, and many excellent ideas. I also realized I’m smarter than I think because I’ve been able to keep up with a lot of what’s posted here. Plus, it was incredibly validating to see I’m not the only one who thought the whole RE market was out of control. When I found The Professor a couple of years ago, it was like, “halaluja!”

Shorting sounded like gambling to me, and I don’t gamble. I’m conservative financially, plus I’m not particularly interested in financial stuff. I force myself to take an interest because I’m single, and no one (meaning no husband) is going to take care of it except me. I am interested in the more macro stuff like the global economy etc, but the day-to-day workings of the stock market are BORING to me.

I have zero debt (as of about 3 years ago) but little in the way of cash. I’m debating whether I should cash out my mutual funds. I know my financial planner will have an absolute fit if I do this, as his motto is ‘ride out the market whether it’s up or down.’ He think’s I’m diversified enough that even if one area takes a hit, I’ll be ok.

Thoughts?
