Re: No One Saw it Coming? (none / 1)

Truth be told, the blogs were ahead of the vast majority of the sharp people on this. When Greenspan slashed rates to 1%, a lot of economists, (most ex-)realtors, financiers, etc, jumped online and started blogs about the housing bubble and epic crash. The tubez are littered with them, some shut down and some still going.
