   OK, only one question: how do I invest in the huuuuge crash that's coming? Very interesting video. Thanks!

   Paul, I have a house that's paid for. I should sell it now, bank the cash, rent until the crash, then buy a better home. I think.

   Miss C. - I'm in the same boat as you, maybe selling now wouldn't be such a bad idea!

   Bonus round macro-economics question: What will happen if Miss C., Anita and 500,000 others put their houses up for sale in hopes of cashing in on a forecasted crash?

   Answer: No one will buy them!

   I know several people who have done exactly what Miss C has suggested - 4 years ago! They thought it was going to crash way back then already. They've been renting ever since and now they can never afford to get back into the market.

   Unless, of course, the market crashes.

   My wife and I are going to be buying our first home this year. I'm terrified of throwing money away, but the market seems to be swinging in favor of buyers - at least in Rochester, NY.

    Carl,
    You won't be throwing your money away especially if you're in your home for a few years. These things go in cycles just as the video suggests. Hang in there! There are good deals to be had in real estate right now.

    Buying now IS throwing your money away This whole thing has been due to the easy credit. That's over. Prices will crash and it's likely that homes never recover their current value (adjusted for inflation, obviously). Have you ever thought what will happen when the peak oil arrives?
