ParticipantYes, I’ve heard the “midnight run” story a few times lately regarding the Chinese factories. I guess there’s a heavy fine for folding up shop. Something about giving up your organs prematurely that upsets many people.

ParticipantJust look at the volitility of the market lately. This is not my idea of stability. Dip a toe back into the market after it’s shown a couple months of solid behavior. And even then, just a taste. And in another month, if it’s behaving, get some more….etc… at least this way, you’re not over exposed if it crashes. The odds of a lot more bad news coming in 2009 is about 90%, IMO. So be careful out there. The US$ is a great place to be right now despite how it may feel.

ParticipantIt may be a seasonal thing, but I have been closely following rentals in NorCal and the volume is growing while the prices are coming down. This has been evident in the last 3 months.
Foreclosures and unemployment will probably cause the “substitution effect” to come into play as demand destruction is starting to gain speed. In other words, people may go from homes to apartments or start sharing homes and apartments as a substitute for what they were doing before the problems happened. This will probably cause downward pressure on the rental markets as this trend continues.peterb
