although it may look like my home value dropped to 50% of what it was in 2006, in real world buying power, it is now 16-20% of what it was in 2006.

do the math yourself. check out zillow.com for your home value over the passed 5 yrs. plug those values in, calculate the value in terms of ounces of gold and silver... and you'll see how much you've lost
Great table for a bump
OK - I’m impressed. And a little scared that it’s so much worse than I thought... Thanks for sharing.
Excellent table. Bookmarked. BTTT.
Excellent table!
Great, illustrative table. Thanks for posting it, sten.
Nice graph!
For those that don’t get the hint, buy silver and gold!!! Prices are not too high, think of it as wealth preservation.
