His house value was down to 100K He was mad that his mother kinda told him at 23 to buy a house and worried. Well he sold that house for 419,000 in 2007. So in twenty years look what happened. So I guess he was a poor sap!

Look hold on if you can , it will all eventually come back. If you can buy at the bottom great, but hold on.

What I dont get is this poor sap crap. Yes I guess they are poor saps but if they could hold on 20 years like the others who bought at the boom I have a feeling they wont be poor saps. Now I am glad I did not buy at the height of the boom but I dont want to wish people ill fate.

I don't think so, the bubble is gone. Its like saying Sun Microsystems will be worth $60 a share like in 1999 again if we just hang on
