Rookie, sounds like your still making rookie mistakes. Why sit with everything paid for when you will only realize a possible gain when you sell that high maintenance house. A line of credit after tax deductions only cost less then 3 % against your house. Give that money to a financial planner and you might make 10 % minus the 3 % charges and you still make 7 % for just having a place to sleep. I guess for those who are confident in the Greens then buy San, a possible 100 % on the upside is not out of reach. PS: I hear from Shanghai China. ( EXPO ) that even the scalpers are looking to buy gold coins, when gold breaks $ 1250. then $ 1500. becomes the new base price. ,,i predict with in 4-6 months.
