Look at and compare the last leg up in real private residential investment to the others. Yeah, just ignore the huge tax change that took place in 1997.

Not true.
If you are the first in and sell before the pyramid reaches saturation, you make out like a bandit.
Of course, those that got in late and are still holding the bag, well, they just may take the whole economy down with them.

Looks like a steady trend to me with pullbacks that are progressively less severe.

"...compare the last leg up in real private residential investment to the other..."What are we saying here-- that the bigger the leg up the bigger future maybe leg down, or that the bigger the leg up the better?
I like the second because it's easier to prove. Besides, the graph contradicts that first idea.

LOL. If I post articles from the MSM you cry "liberal", if I post from conservative blogs you cry "clowns" or "blogpimpery", and if I post from gold or bear sites you call it "gloomwhoring" or "goldbuggery." Gee, if I didn't know any better, I'd say your real problem is with the message, not the sources.
To: Toddsterpatriot
Yeah, just ignore the huge tax change that took place in 1997.Ignore hell. He's never heard of it. He's googling it up now.

Ignore hell. He's never heard of it. He's googling it up now.He never did admit the magnitude of his double counting when pushing the "triple deficits". Maybe his google button is broken?

This is one reason I don't give people individual sources. There is a skeleton in EVERY closet. And to suggest that people with "agendas" don't have valid opinions is like saying a jew in late 1930's germany should be ignored when he comments on the nazis because he has an agenda.
I have learned so see if the words stand of their own strength.

Nope. I generally don't associate with people who have a connection to the name "Willie."
