The Bubble Meter Philosophy
The best way to get the housing market thriving again is to drop prices to the point where supply equals demand. Home sellers might not like it, but it's good for buyers and it's great for Realtors.
For Realtors, the best way to make more money is to sell houses quickly, and the best way to sell houses quickly is to convince the seller to drop the price.

S&P 500 is 1087 today.... it was around 1520 back in March 2000..... if it has a 5% total return annually for next 10 years then it will be around 1600. Hence essentially the broad market will have 0 return for 2000 to 2020 something not seen since 1930-1954. Granted, stocks probably had better yields (i.e., dividends) back then (5 to 6% annually???) unlike the paltry 2% annual dividend now.
