Realtors make money from selling houses. They make more money from selling expensive houses quickly and repeatedly. I put a Realtor's report on housing prices stablizing (so buy, buy, buy now!) in the same file as I do the radio gold bugs who are trying to sell me their nice shiny metal because prices are sure to go up.

The grain of salt I need for this is about the size of Lot's wife.

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.
