Andrew is liberal in some ways that I cannot begin to fathom, but in personal finance and money management, he’s been rock solid for an awfully long time. Take a look at Andrew Tobias’s notions. Here’s an excerpt.

Andrew Tobias: I get The Van Eck-Tillman Real Estate And Bank Letter, billed as Adrian Van Ecks Confidential Letter On The One-Half of U.S. Wealth in Real Estate ($90 a year, call 800-219-1333). From its June 6 letter: From coast to coast, the American real estate bubble has been puffing up ever more dangerously in the past 30 days. My gosh, when I think about the several boom-and-bust cycles I have observed and reported on in the past 40 years, I wonder just how high this one can go and how much longer it can last before it begins to come apart. When it will end is still hidden from us mortals. But the fact that it will end and end badly cannot be in doubt or dispute.
