YESTERDAY I WAS READING ABOUT THE FORTUNE 500 COMAPNIES VALUE IS 13% BELOW THE VALUE OF 1998 SO YOUR INVESTMENT STARTING POINT IS OVER ELEVEN YEARS BACK. IF YOU HAD HAD BOUGHT HOUSES INSTEAD OF STOCK IN THE 20 LARGEST CITIES THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT WOULD HAVE ONLY GONE BACKWARDS TO JULY 2003 BASICALLY 6 YEARS OFF THE PEAK. IF YOU HAD INVESTED IN REAL ESTATE IN BILLINGS MONTANA YOU WOULD BE BACK TO THE END OF 2007 BASICALLY 2 YEARS OFF THE PEAK

SO THE QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET EVEN AND BACK INTO THE BLACK ON YOUR INVESTMENTS WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER BE 11 YEARS BACK IN STOCKS; 6 YEARS BACK IN REAL ESTATE IN THE 20 LARGEST CITIES OR ABOUT 2 YEARS BACK IN BILLINGS MONTANA.

AND THEY BLAME REAL ESTATE FOR THE COUNTRY’S PROBLEMS

I KNOW WHERE THE EASIEST BREAK BACK TO POSITIVE ON MY INVESTMENT IS.
