ParticipantYes but…. the S&P 500 returned 17,316% over the same 40 years when dividends were reinvested, with no tenant issues, weekend calls, or any of that…
ParticipantA few random thoughts:
1) PE of 30 can go to 15 if prices come down…. or if earnings go up.
2) Yes there are not a lot of great alternative investments.
3) The last 100 years of awesome stock performance probably doesn’t predict the next 100 years. We are unlikely to look like Japan since 1989 as our population is growing, but many things can change.
4) Diversify, buy and hold, don’t overextend with stupid consumer choices, and you’ll be fine!
ParticipantI’m from Ventura County. Love it and miss it but the jobs for me are here. Enjoy! You can ride your bike down the old rail line to the beach if you miss it.

September 27, 2009 at 7:57 AM in reply to: Homeowners who ‘strategically default’ on loans a growing problem #462046ParticipantIf everyone were this rational, the banks would behave more responsibly as well , requiring down payments and real income.
I don’t blame anyone for walking, the sad part is how some people are unwilling/unable to see the writing on the wall.
For the poor, one could argue that credit cards are actually more important than mortgages. You can buy food with a credit card. Anyone ever try to eat drywall?
