Codeman good point. That is the other key point I meant to mention. As the economy weakens, cash flow streams decline thus putting further pressure on asset values. I wouldn't buy a slip a this point unless I was so rich that I could afford to heat my home with twenty dollar bills. Also remember that most rich people got that way because they are smart so I wouldn't count on them to keep over paying for inflated assets as the economy tanks.
