A remarkable blog by John R. Talbott, printed here verbatim in its entirety, from the January 18, 2012 issue of The Huffington Post.   It's incredibly insightful and comes from the only predicter of the housing bust itself...brief and persuasive!   A must read for anyone contemplating a home purchase.
