This doom and gloom scenerio with all due respect is perpetrated by those who are not involved in it!
Sure housing will stabalise and sure prices will pullback to satisfy demand and sure there will be some carnage---but it wont be anything like wholesale bankruptcy for those "Stupid,greedy,dumb,speculators"
Armchair critics who love to commentate and critisise those who have a go and lement missed opportunity---should really get inside the glass house before throwing stones.
