I remember seeing these posts years ago. Matt H. (OP) seemed to be on top of the world back when he was an active member. He was riding the appreciation wave all the way to the top.

not sure about these two, but lots of builders fit this kind of mind set back then. By 2008, many were being cleaned out and their whole portfolios of 40%, 60%, ... 100% complete houses lost to foreclosure.

I remember coming across that thread a few years ago (looks like 2010). It was shocking to me and I keep that lesson in my head going forward with my investments.

Bubble logic is fascinating. I love reading such time stamped perspectives. Both educational and entertaining. 2000 Tech Stock bubble and 2012 Gold Bubble posts are equally interesting. They all share a similar disconnect from real fundamentals.
As far as the what happened to these two guys question, my guess is one of them went broke, the other got tired of reading and responding to the same newbie questions that dominate message boards like this.

From what I could gather the original poster was based in Edmonton, Canada & it's a whole different ball game there. So based on the stats in the following link I would assume he is not hurting.
