The people in 2008 just timed the market poorly. This time around, we’ll see all the tell-tale signs of a housing crash and get out right before it does so, all cash. Then, when all the stocks (Because, of course, banks will lose out on the highly leveraged positions of our non-fortuitous peers) have tanked, we’ll simply buy them at rock bottom prices, riding a wave of financial security into the nursing home.
