but the whole point of what i was getting at, was to say take a look at all of the people that jumped on the bandwagon a few years ago in what was being called "a sure bet" or "guarunteed money maker". lots of people bought properties on speculation, properties that the market was showing were going to be worth ALOT in a very short amount of time. these people did what they thought was wise purchasing, and they lost alot of money. alot of people lost alot of money. and that should have been the eye opener for people not to count money that is speculatory.
