Has anyone else paid attention to Housing prices? Wow

Even if you only "invest" a relatively small amount, wouldn't it be nice to get 8-15% return?

I started with $25 a month back in 1999.

let's just say I have considerably more than that now.

...and I made a sizable profit from '08 to '12 simply by NOT getting out.

In fact, I followed part A of the most basic rule of investing- "buy low" during that downturn.
