I'm driving down the road and the news comes on the radio "HOME PRICES WERE DOWN 9% IN NOVEMBER"!
I would say the average person would interpret that as meaning home prices fell 9% in 1 month.What they failed to mention was that it was a comparison to November of 2007.

So many people are influenced by what they hear on the news.With such a negative,slanted view,how can we expect to recover and this economy back on track?
