Only reason I didn’t buy gold since the price peaks of 1980 was that despite gold/silver prices falling for 20 years after that peak, the same folks who were urging everyone to buy, buy, buy at the peak, continued to urge buy, buy, buy as the metals fell and fell.
Talk about a monomessage.
Eventually, I just tuned them out.
Would have bought at the lows a few years back otherwise.
One thing about housing though — you can live in your house no matter what becomes of its price.
