<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1353877, member: 22143&quot;]Excellent example above.&nbsp; &nbsp; You really don&#039;t need any type of degree to figure out that aggregate housing prices rising 87% in 7 years where during the same period, real income was actually falling wasn&#039;t sustainable.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yet &quot;economists&quot; with fancy Ivy League degrees either were outright lying, or were totally clueless.&nbsp; They were building a house of cards reaching to the stratosphere and it became obvious to me, that a singular event would bring it all down.&nbsp;&nbsp; That event turned out to be oil prices and when they crossed $100/barrel, and started heading to $150, I knew bad times were coming.&nbsp;&nbsp; I pulled almost everything out of the stock market at the beginning of 2008 and that turned out to be a great decision.&nbsp;&nbsp; I made this decision with just a novice level of education and despite the fact that at that time, I still &quot;trusted&quot; the system.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is just one part of it.&nbsp; Spend a little time with it, and the pieces start to fall together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
