Bubble's pop was akin to a slow leak - Home sales tumbled in 2006, but prices mostly dipped. Even so, don't expect a boom soon.

It's official! The bust is over!

Kenneth R. Harney is a moron.

I'm reading an article in the New Yorker.

Did you know?

• The ocean has absorbed about half of all the carbon dioxide man has spewed into the air since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
• The surface pH of the oceans has lowered by .1 - representing a 30% increase in the acidity of the ocean.
• The CO₂ combines with the ocean's H₂0 producing H₂C0₃ (carbonic acid - a weak acid found in most sodas)

Currently, investors are pulling money from real estate and putting it in the market. While this probably is propping up the market in the near term (6 months or so), it won't sustain it through 2007. It's good to be in equities now, but I'm going to begin looking for safer, dividend paying stock funds (Equity/Income) and medium term bond funds for the future.
