...Monevator - welcome. Love your site by the way. <br /><br />I see us as nearing the top of the bear market rally. I hope there is no crash this year but he first half of next year is set to be brutal.<br /><br />overall there are still some CRE plays out there, like CAL or IERE which are at huge discounts to NAV. Not sure now is the time to buy though as there is much more downside risk than upside in the short-term.CityUnslickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929544047783163175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-91589916218237378472009-11-17T13:43:40.738+00:002009-11-17T13:43:40.738+00:00I note that a well-known *ahem* blogger-punter got...I note that a well-known *ahem* <i>blogger-punter</i> got burned shorting gold last week ...Nick Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670594203660051701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-51844302975427441752009-11-17T13:39:21.839+00:002009-11-17T13:39:21.839+00:00I borrowed £5m and shorted the stock.
