Where is consumer demand (not investor)? Your question is flawed because the premise is flawed. Anyway, we all know what happened the last time you claimed there would be an expensive lesson for people who "didn't buy right away". You unwittingly helped my post become the #1 comment of the week for Patrick.net (with 1 dislike, obviously from you). Thanks Iwog. :)

Sociopaths with some intelligence and drive do very well here. The key is to lack any compassion or empathy for anyone. Then all things are possible. If anything should make a normal person depressed its that. All things considered tho, I'll keep my conscience.

In fact you kept posting it until finally you were right. But how does that make you different from a broken clock? You posted the warning in July 2010, the peak of the post-tax credit market, and then prices dropped off for 18 months straight according to Case Shiller. In fact, they didn't hit their 2010 high again until late 2012, nearly 3 years later. So how expensive was the mistake to wait? For those who waited a year and a half, it wasn't expensive at all, in fact quite lucrative. That's the reason my post got so many likes and became the #1 comment for the week. You can call it trolling all you want, but people can detect BS when they see it Iwog.

The constitution speaks of this... are you here supporting the Terrorist groups like Al Qaeda? You continue to post Anti-American propaganda in support of terrorist groups. Article 3, section 3, clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that the giving of aid and comfort to the enemy is an element in the crime of Treason. Aid and comfort may consist of substantial assistance or the mere attempt to provide some support; actual help or the success of the enterprise is not relevant. Enemies deserve a trial, followed by speedy administration of justice. Gitmo detainees receive neither. And this injustice is America's responsibility.

For example, I recently saw a job posting for a project engineer managing multi-million dollar projects start to finish, 70 hour weeks, 75% travel, professional certification (PE) required - and they were offering up to $60k/ year salary! The reason companies are pushing so much for high tech visas is to save money over hiring Americans to do the work.
