have done well. I have a few I think I will sell and will put off that new deer rifle until, at least summer.

I remember the housing bubble very well. "Real estate will always go up", "people will always need houses and the population is going up", "you better buy now, before it gets any higher".

The secret to investing is very simple, buy low, sell high.
