The market is not looking good today...

My portfolio has been taking a beating this year.. as of last week, since January 1st I've lost about $2k and I havent looked to see what the damage has been this week.

Even still I have a problem believing that we are in a recession, there are some great real estate bargains out there and with the rate drop and decent credit you can expect an exceptionally good house payment.

I work for a real estate attorney & have talked to several brokers who have clients with scores in the mid 700's, but can't get them approved so decent credit isn't even enough right now to get into a house.
