Where is everybody???

A 69% fall in a year. SIXTY NINE PERCENT!!! For bubble watchers this must be amazing to see because it's just confirmation that the bigger you allow a bubble to inflate the increase in downside risk of exponential falls. I'm stunned by the figures we are seeing for approvals and the like, the drops are immense and are only going to continue to grow through the rest of 2008. This is history!!!
