I've seen a lot of these complexes just collapse in values, and it will take a very long time for them to rebound. 

So the icons of industry won't allow it to collapse.

I am just hoping that this catches SOMEONE'S attention that can reign this in before there is a major small business collapse as well.Don't even get me started on WAMU.

In the event of a collapse or sale, stock owners receive their money last after debt holders, bond holders and preferred shares are paid out.  

No harm in consulting with one or two more.I happen to agree that all the eggs in the basket, at our age, is just as scary a proposition as another market correction/collapse as we near retirement.

@Eric Bilderback California Home prices are going to collapse.

Those numbers today make sense and back when I passed on them at $15k it also made sense, it's the market that's made the difference, from total collapse flooded with properties to a significant shortage market with capital desperate to find a place to be deployed. 

If the deal collapses and I would lose everything, I'm out.

Lets say you buy used lumber in WY using your LLCs money and ship it to the foreign state and they build a building that collapses because the used wood you bought was rotten they can still go after you. 

If the market collapses  some loans can come due.
