I read some of the article about Dalio, and this quote from him sort of summed up financial genius to me.
Quote
"From the age of twelve, Dalio caddied at the nearby Links Golf Club, whose members included many Wall Streetinvestors. Some of them gave Dalio tips. The first stock he purchased was Northeastern Airlines,which soon received a takeover offer. Its shares tripled. “I figured that this was an easy game,” Dalio" Unquote
I've become rather jaded, and come to believe it's a rigged game, and those on the inside know what's going to make things happen long before they happen, and position themselves accordingly.
They either make them happen, or are privy to those insiders who do make them happen.
Good article though, and I am picking up some good points for myself from it.

Interesting article in the Sun today, they say there are approximately 6-7 years supply of housing in the shadow inventory in Florida.( Memory and sloppy mental math)
Much less nationwide.
First actual numbers I've seen in a while.

Anyone else notice the ironic similarity between Bridgewater and Blackwater?
Surely a coincidence. lol
An 'insiders' joke.

Nothing like a beer pong party to further bring down values.

A rare bit of candor from the NAR The Looming Shadow: State Estimates of Shadow Inventory
The state by state estimate of shadow inventory presented here is based on the same method as described in the March 2010 shadow inventory article (PDF). Not unexpectedly, Florida, a judicial state, still ranks on top with largest shadow inventory. Since March 2011, the estimate has further expanded by over 46,000 more loans. In contrast, the second highest ranking state A California saw reduction of shadow inventory by some 11,000 loans. Illinois, previously ranking third, has now fallen to the fifth highest ranking state with shadow inventory shrinking by over 26,000 loans. New York and New Jersey, with a significant backlog of foreclosure inventory and a slow foreclosure process, are now the third and fourth highest ranking states.
