KTC - Although I agree with the overall message contained in the article, I must point out that the last paragraph is a typical shoddy example of selecting certain dates to make an argument for one's point. Using the American families' asset value in 2007 - at the top of the real estate bubble - while factually accurate - is a bit disingenuous. The stock touts, financial analysts, money managers, fund managers,investment brokers, etc. all do this to lure you in.
This is simply a case of one who bills himself as a "Personal Finance Reporter" doing this.
BTW - You really should attribute this stuff - especially since you selectively edit the content.
