Can someone point me to a couple of examples of instances where the
real estate market went belly up? I am more interested in examples
where investments lost value over a large period of time rather than
short-term losses.
This is a long, data-laden (and scary) argument that the US real

For Cheeni: reading through this might just convince you that the
kinds of housing loans that have been made in the US are much, *much*
more risk-laden than the ones that have been made in India.
