This thread is not targeted towards Jack, Fake P, or Face Reality. Their arguments are very reasonable and I always keep them in mind for balance.
70% or so of all people now think this market is normal and rational. It's all about following the herd.
You know. I don't know why. I have no logic to base this one, just a feeling. But it seems people are starting to get nervous about this market. It's not so much *what* is being said, but *how*.
Me, I live on a comfortable 6 figure income. No huge debt. Have a great place to live in a very nice town. I feel no bitterness toward those who managed to time the market correctly, and I have a great many friends for whom I am very happy for. I am just concerned that the market fundamentals don't add up, and some people I like a great deal are taking on tremendous risk.
I could buy in, and if this market continues to be this irrational for substantially more time, I may have to. But until that time comes I am going to enjoy the freedom that comes with not being so overextended that I am only one misfortune away bankruptcy or foreclosure. I don't have a rich mommy or daddy to bail me out.
I think SactoQt is quite representative of us...

This is exactly our philosophy.

Some people deny that housing bubbles exist. Some even suggest that the recent appreciation is sustainable.
Are the consequences too scary to fathom? Are they just blinded by greed and fear? Do they even have the right information?
