Well three years and a little since this thread started have made some differences in perspectives I imagine. The period of transition from one thing to another seems to be systamatically reducing time wise compared to all of past history.

Hard to guess the senario that will be present just ten short years from now.Same feeling may also apply to the end of the next five year period. Probably the odds of getting it right are less than getting the stock market right.

I have to wonder for example if all the media mention of another decline in real estate values will play out. Plus if so what it really represents this time. When that avenue is exhausted what comes next?
