    It's so simple, even my wife understands it now.

            I told anyone who would listen this bubble would burst dramatically, when house prices started going balistic (early 00s), and people would laugh, and go obout supply and demand etc. It was obvious the rises were caused by little more than the supply of cheap money and the likes of self cert 125% motgages! People were blinded by their own greed, the whole market acted stupidly, with little concern for value or common see. All bubbles end in disaster, this one even managing to bring down the financial system, was nobody looking at the potential downside?

                so its greenspan's fault - he would only give investor's a 1% return? and investors could not buy equities because? or they could not invest in solar power, wind power, fuel efficiency schemes etc etc etc?

                what kind of investors are these people who can only see treasury bills ($$$$)???

                  It's all about the risk - investors don't like risky new-fangled solar power.

                  They like high-risk packaged as low risk even less, but that's a different point.

                    solar power is new-fangled?
