Large landlords with experience are probably a better group to bet on (in terms of understanding long term economic trends) than startups.

Just like the bond market is a better indicator of economic growth than the stock market. More money, more professionals, longer memories, not as much optimism.

Edit: future economic growth expectations, rather.



As much as I'd like the US to crash to reality a bit so we can get our house together... a Chinese slowdown + European clusterfuck makes the US the best place to invest, still. That gives this boom a slightly longer lease on life.


In 2007 a lot of Europeans thought that EU and China would decouple themselves from the emerging debt/housing crisis in the USA.


Ah, decoupling.

I don't think the US is decoupled at all. It's just the least crappy house in the neighborhood.
