You do realize that a 26% drop is someone else's loss - I would not count on those type of drops - sellers will likely pull the sale rather than take a steep drop. Realistically, the increases in interest will likely whipe out any gain in prices.
The working class, and all of us, are getting shafted by terrible policy.

You realize inflation and depression....while having the most pronounced fiscal loss for the rich....tend to kill a lot of poor people. Everyone loses...and then they lose hope. They then turn to dictators or socialism to save them. From there the country is destroyed and it only then can democracy attempt to again attempt to rise out of the ash of destruction.



Freedom is a messy, unfair and unknown beast....but it is the best thing we've got.

I agree with you, but the “policy” is actually just capitalism.

I think most people should try to set aside at least $1,000 every month from their paycheck for the purpose of buying assets or investments. It is a good habit to get into in any case.

You don’t even need to predict the exact bottom of the market. It is always a good time to buy when markets are down, as they have been for months now. As far as real estate goes, you have to see how much of a mortgage it is profitable to take on based on the current interest rate.

With the Fed constantly lying and falsifying the inflation report and using it as an excuse to destroy the economy. Only the 1% will have the liquidity to buy. Don’t think the bottom is here, they’re just getting started. They never cared about inflation it’s just an excuse. They don’t call this a great reset for no reason.

I don't know I look forward to it. IMHO a TON of stuff in the USA right now needs a hard adjustment.

Perhaps that adjustment would be a good thing.

Anyone who owned prior to 2020 will be fine. Better than fine. People who bought in this ridiculous pandemic run up might have some trouble.

There are some fixers on the market now, almost within my target range. I think next 6-9 months they will come into range.

Capitalism is not a policy.
