There is a focus here I feel, on future growth based on economy only. But consider this. At a minimum, the growth will be at inflation rates. As inflation rises, so does the value of your property (I think this is how it works). This means, that there is virtually zero chance of doom. The only possible negativity to come out of future values is a lack of substantial growth. This recession we are in at the moment, it's part of the cycle, as occurred before. I think D&Gers really need to get a grip, go out and buy an IP. Maybe, just maybe, they may become believers....
