Participantsdrealtor and Russell, I’m glad you liked it, feel free to use it all you like. Nothing I write is inherently mine anyway, everything comes from another source or person or experience and combinations thereof. I will make it to the meetup, looking forward to that bottle and meeting you guys as well as many others. The statement has nothing to do with sheep/wolves, victims/suspects or predator/prey, it is about balance. It isn’t about being delirious or desperate, it is about finding peace understanding that what is happening is fine. It is a combination of Lao Tzu and a crazy horse lady I dated a few years ago. I tend to attract or am attracted to slightly crazy women who are little unconventional in their thinking, it is one of my many character flaws.
So here’s the backstory, a few years ago I’m dating that woman known as the crazy horse lady and we are at my parents house for dinner and they live adjacent to miles of open space. Their yard is attacked daily by bunnies and the driveways/patios are covered with droppings each morning. My folks had been trying to install fencing and other devices to preventing them from feasting and this girl says that it is “a bunny year.” I ask her what the hell does that mean and she explains that she has always lived on a ranch and some years are “bunny years” and some years are “coyote years.” That when there are good rains the bunnies flourish, the following year the few coyotes feast and then they have large litters that survive because of the plentiful food, the next year there are too many coyotes competing for fewer bunnies and perhaps it is a dry year, then the coyotes don’t have as large of litters and fewer pups survive and with less predators and a little more rain there will be a bunny year coming. The few surviving coyotes will have a feast and the cycle will repeat. She also insisted that erecting fencing will not keep the bunnies away but will impede the coming coyotes, that no intervention is better.
Later that year I read the Tao Te Chi, remembered the quote from the Lion King (the circle of life, Simba) combined the bunny year theory with a few Taoist principals and realized that all things ebb and flow. For some reason I’m typing last night and it sneaks in from the back of my mind and I realize as I type that the economic cycle and the bunny/coyote cycle have amazing similarities.
If your retirement funds were in bunnies or coyotes, you would get all crazy with the ebb and flow of their population. You would complain about the government erecting fences, think of shooting the coyotes or get mad at god for it not raining enough. But our money isn’t in bunnies and coyotes, it is in real estate and stocks, so we cannot appreciate or predict the ebb and flow because we have skin in the game and we have fear, fear blinds. Take a deep breath and a step back, when things become clear and you can see them happening before they do, it feels better and you can position yourself better, it’s just that simple.

ParticipantRussell, what looks like optimism is merely observations from my life, your results may vary. I’ve spent probably more than half of my scheduled time on the planet and what I’ve learned makes me understand that balance will find me, I don;t need to seek it. When things look like they are great and will only get better, they won’t, conversely when things look like they can only get worse, they wont. Pendulums swing and they always swing back, if there are too many rabbits, soon there will be coyotes, balance is the most reliable thing in our world. The study of nature and business has amazing similarities. This country has all the needed elements, it just needs to organize them. It is also a healthy thing to go through something like this current crisis every decade or two.
Ca renter-micro markets are different, peaks are different in those markets. My observations in my market put 1991 as a peak, about 1995 as the bottom and 1998 as the end of the flat part, 1999-2003 was the upswing and 2003-2006 or 2007 as the artificial phase. You can plus or minus a year or two for different markets for different reasons. The exhurbs tend to rise later and fall sooner, so you will have to research your own micro market to get your numbers and target prices.
paramount, that place is overpriced but it isn’t a short or a repo, it won’t sell until the competition changes. It’s still nuts up here, I was working on the yard today and a repo had an open house down the street. I could have a few bucks selling parking spaces, I was a little disapointed, I had hoped all the cars meant perhaps a brothel had opened.
Peter, we agree that if your mort is the same as rent, stay put, but also suggest people stay put who can afford it. I would not walk from a place that may not have turned out to be the investment I thought it was as long as I had no difficulty making the payment. I bought a high horse because I like sitting on it, if you can, honor thy debts. If you lose your job or cannot make your payment, that is one thing, but to stop paying when you have the ability to, as a strategy, bad karma.

ParticipantHe was right about a number of things and he is fun to watch. Where he goofed is failing to understand that the world is no longer a horse race, that the west, europe and asia are too intertwined now. He used Asia and europe as a hedge, hoping they would win the game as if it were like football. It is no longer a football game, it is more like cycling, where the team needs and uses each other. I’ve reached three sports analogies and that is the limit.
