One pin prick is all it would take
It’s been three decades since I took a formal class on macroeconomics, but I haven’t forgotten everything I learned.
Nothing I look at makes sense. Real estate is bubbling again, stocks are through the roof, unemployment numbers are high, and we are printing money at the cyclic rate. There’s a shit blizzard coming. Has to be. |

I agree. Why is housing in a bubble when tens of millions of mortgages are going to be foreclosed on, probably this year? How many more millions are about to be evicted? I understand people fleeing high tax, high regulation blue states, but even that doesn't fully explain the housing bubble right now. Unsaid, but how many people are seeing their property taxes going through the roof that will eventually be forced to sell for that reason, even if they are paying their mortgage as agreed? Something has got to give here, and that's before we talk about the exploding inflation that has already started. Anyone been to the gas pump lately? This is Joe Biden's America. He's putting people out of work, bringing in a new, illegal alien labor force to compete for jobs, causing the price of energy to skyrocket, and basically doing all he can to turn Americans from self sufficient is a great job market under Trump to people who cannot take care of themselves and need to be taken care of by the government plantation, AKA never ending stimulus and bail outs. |

Housing bubble eh? Hmmm, maybe that explains the hand written letter I got a few weeks ago from a realtor asking if I wanted to sell my house to a client of hers. WTF? Makes no sense. Paid this place off 25 years ago. I will die here. Check back in another 20 years

B.A.C.B = Big Ass Credit Bubble. Only two ways out, Deflation or Inflation but we will experience both in different asset classes, going forward IMO. I'd love to see another housing crash. Been wanting to move to a Ranch but prices for new construction are friggin crazy high here, at the moment.
I used to think deflation was a sure thing but the Fed doesn't appear to want that so IMO, probably an Inflationary depression eventually? Time will tell but I expect UBI is coming soon and that should speed things up along with out of control government spending. |

Deflation benefits savers, and the thrifty who live below their means. Those are not core Democrat constituencies. Inflation punishes people those people. Guess what Biden is actively working towards? [hint: look at the skyrocketing gasoline prices that will soon make the cost of everything that gets shipped cost more] |

I'm also in equities but mostly overseas or in multinational companies. It's sad but our economy has become so dependent on government jobs and traditional welfare, that we stand to lose the worst as the current system degrades and is replaced. |

Sister is looking for a house in Tuscon - good luck. They are having to put bids in on rentals to see if they are accepted.

Friend lives in a small town in Ohio and it's a crappy little house, pays a fortune in taxes. Gonna start looking outside of any city soon as the taxes for someone on disability is insane. If disability wouldn't be affected by him selling house and just renting he'd do that as house is paid off and the sudden income would fuk everything up.

The home across the road from me just sold for $1.3M. It’s a nice place, but c’mon man.

Given that the Pricks in the Congress and White house have never seen a dollar they could not piss away on helping them get re elected the house of cards we have allowed them to build up over the past 70 years is going to come down hard. Look at the lessons of the Great Depression to be prepared.
