Reply to "Lafite goes where no wine has gone before"

yes and no. big difference being that the houses were purchased with highly leveraged funds, and with the pure intention of turning a profit.

unless i'm mistaken, these bottles need to be paid for in full at auction end, so at the very end the owner still owns something. the asset may be over-valued, but you own it. in the case of the housing bubble, nobody but the banks owned anything.

i definitely think there's a huge bubble, and we may see some correction. but i doubt we will see a massive implosion unless the very wealthy buyers of these wines go completely bankrupt, along with the next 1,000 extremely wealthy people standing a line right behind them who were just outbid.
