You sound identical to house buyers during the peak of the housing bubble. They didn’t want to hear from me how they were going to lose their ass after the bubble popped. Now that their California homes are worth 1/2 what they paid for it, they aren’t laughing anymore.

Like them, you only learn the hard way.

Booms and busts have been a part of our economy since its inception. We are no more doomed now than we were in the past. Doomers have also been a part of our economy since the beginning. Every now and then their dire predictions come to be realized, to a degree, and then they like to tell us just how good their crystal ball is. Their luck at finding an acorn every now and then notwithstanding, they're still nothing more than doomers who don't realize that this is just a bump in the road on our way to a bigger and better economy.
