Someone refresh my memory, when many were predicting the housing crash, I don't recall many predicting the stock market crash.
I always wondered if this was a chicken/egg thing.
If the stock market didn't crash in 08, would housing have stabilized without the Fed lowering interest rates? Or would housing prices fallen even further without the lower rates?
And I'm not sure if I remember this right, but wasn't the previous housing crash (early 90s) tied to the DotCom burst?
Hindsight is 20/20... and history repeats itself.
Is the market going to take a fall again (I hear ads on the radio from people wanting you to diversify)? Since many think we are the end of a price run up (or what others would call a bubble), what would it take to make a real slowdown happen?
The stock poll looks positive and the housing poll is only slightly negative... so anyone want to Larry it up and predict where we are going?
