Pulling the trigger on a real estate deal hasn't felt this dicey in a decade. The inventory of unsold homes on the market is at its highest level since the last bust. New homes are selling at a slower pace, and prices have fallen. Buyers are walking away from signed deals (and their deposits) at twice last year's rate...
...fall campaign nears its end, there's much fear and loathing about what would happen if Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats took over the House. The Republicans claim it would result in higher taxes, weakened national security and slower economic growth, all charges the Democrats dispute.

...fund? The answer is timing--bad timing. People have a knack for stampeding into a sector as its performance peaks, only to suffer the impending decline while missing the rally. So the average investor's money, often earmarked for important future needs like education and retirement, grows at a slower rate than it would with a simple buy-and-hold strategy...
