What Was True Then - In 2010 Housing Crisis - Is So True, Again
'We won't get fooled again,' ... well, says SLC Advisors principal Scott Cox, unless we forget what we reminded ourselves of the last time we got fooled.

[Editor's note: "Times change ... but not much," our TBD Dream Teamer Scott Cox, writes of a note-to-self set of precepts and principles he jotted down as a full-on housing depression slowly began to relent in 2010. What's propelling the housing market to where it is today is, no doubt, real and fundamental. All that this momentum is not, perhaps, is sustainable. Despite demand's having taking on a life of its own relative to scarce supply, can not ever be regarded as a slam dunk for business or operational success. Too many other factors – as fundamental and real as today's tide of demand – play a role in what inevitably happens. So, we're especially grateful to share Scott's "note-to-self" in 2010, as what was true then still holds. – JM]
