Just like sports, we see a competition happening here: it's the "bubbleheads" (Rabi's term) versus the "bubble debunkers" (my term). As I see it, the debunkers can never win because there's no defining moment when "the bubble didn't burst" (unless you put a timeframe on it, of course). Our bubblehead foes can always say, "it's going to happen any day now". And if it does, they get to gloat and tell everyone how much smarter they are than the rest of us. (Isn't being the smartest guy on the forum what this is all about?) So listen up, debunkers: arguing with the bubbleheads is a lot like arguing with your wife: you can NEVER win so just go with the flow 
Okay, now to the more important topic of sports. I am predicting that the Cubs are NOT going to the World Series this year - but definitely they'll win it all next year...which also means the apocolypse is right around the corner. So, to tie together these seemingly unrelated topics, here's my humble advice: go out and get that 3-year ARM loan and buy that big, beautiful house of your dreams that you can't afford. Why worry? You'll never have to pay it back.
Go Cubs!
