Dollar cost averaging is the perfect strategy, diversification is also great, take a look at the instituional investors such as the Harvard and Yale endowments, they are not running for the door, they are looking at this as opportunity. Don't panic is good advice, reassess your risk tolerance is also good advice and the media shouldn't create panic either.

Perfect! I love it! No calls as long as you pay your mortgage. Some buyers could have been there due to initially borrowing 125% of home value. That is one of the things that also got us in trouble. <any homes are below, it is disgusting that we are all going to pay the price for these pigs that saw $$$$$$$ only. Borrow first, ask questions later! Mr. Green is all in cash. Perfect! I love it!
