I know you do your research. It's that I think the stock market is overbought, because it has been oversold. Much like the housing market of a few years ago.<br /><br />Take the money and run, my friend.<br /><br />Anyway, you wouldn't believe the house I was in a couple of days ago. Good location, nice neighborhood, fine schools, easy access to main roads and the expressway, not far from major shopping centers--perfect place to build a home. Looked great, from the street.<br /><br />I thought, hell, I won't have any problem selling this. Then I went inside. Oh, my God. It was completely stripped!<br /><br />I mean, they took everything--carpet, lights, doors, commodes, cabinets. I'm walking around, thinking what the hell went on here? They even knocked the fence over so they could back a truck into the yard to haul away all the stuff they were stealing.<br /><br />Good grief. This house is unliveable. Only a cash investor could buy it, because no one is going to give you a mortgage for a house you can't occupy. I'm looking at $30,000 in repairs, minimum.<br /><br />Sigh.
