I claim no expertise or even a strong opinion on this subject but you previously said that demand would make gold/silver continue to rise due to limited supply.

Should that not be true as well for premium properties close to major metropolitan hubs?

Not only the hedge fund, but Goldman Sachs and a couple of other of the "big guys".

Lots of things are missing, which would cause a world wide depression and there hasn't been a world wide depression ( which was actually kicked off by WW I/the TREATY OF VERSAILLES, BTW )since the 1930s.

You need to read more world history and financial history. If you're REALLY interested, I can give you a wee book list, to get you started.

Interest rates are NOT rising.

Though we've had two slightly down DOW days, it almost broke through its record high and will probably regain the two slight down days ( Thursday and Friday ) and then go back up and crash through the record high.

The Fed just announced the BIGGEST amount of quarterly paid taxes, to date and the debt has also fallen.

Okie dokie...there goes that theory. LOL

You are operating under the false paradigm that when history repeats itself, it always does it the exact same way. Yes, things are missing. Things are also there that weren't there before.

I have been studying world history with a specific interest in the two world wars and their impact on our world culture since 1968.

Although investors need to avoid properties that are currently overpriced, I think generally real estate in good locations will continue to increase in value in metropolitan areas that have reasonably strong population growth in the years ahead. As you mentioned, this is because of growing demand combined with a very limited supply of properties in good locations.
