Don't get me wrong... we just lived through the lemmings reading about how great real estate investing was... and once all of the get-rich-quick crowd entered the market we saw how that worked out.Yet... after reading this article, I am convinced that the authors just like the magazines are only pouring more koolaid for their thirsty readers...Leaving the real estate investment field un-encumbered for those who are informed.

It's terrifying when senior officials do "untransparent" deals...whether it's financing off-shore drilling or awarding defense contracts to companies the officials' have large stakes in, it's all very scary...It's sad when the American people have to question the motivations of our administrations...for example, whether things like energy policies and wars are kicked off simply for the pursuit of personal gain by politicians.And dirty politicians should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, whether that be impeachment or even war crimes tribunals...
