By :I might ask: Home prices went up 2 years after the first cover. Why is the timnig bad on that one?Cover 1: Home $weet Home Most people who bought at the time the article is dated were underwater at the time the tax credit peaked prices and are even further underwater now. Cover 2: Rethinking Home Ownership Most people who sold or failed to buy at the time the article is dated have made/saved a large amount of money from the decision.I agree Cover 1 was a total crapshoot into nowhere, but house prices have been steadily falling in most areas ever since Cover 2 was printed. I contend that using Time as an investment timnig strategy is about equal to flipping a coin as opposed to being a strictly contrarian indicator. :) Rate this comment: 0 0
