weak answer, bho
Pigeon,
it might be new moniker but that’s been my plan all along. I dont get caught up in the hype. I think hard to buy when prices is going up and ONLY if prices are something I can afford comfortably – ie rather rent & enjoy life vs. be on edge with a massive mortgage.
Actually, I’m thinking maybe some bluegrass is the way to go.

I suspect that the only bottom that is behind us is the one you’re talking out of. But that could just be me speaking posteriorly myself.
the bottom is behind us, and the next top will be whenever BHO throws in the towel or starts posting under another name. He seems like a proper fade.
