We don't see a bubble because the strength didn't come from speculative demand. It came from low 30-year mortgage rates, good demographics and other good fundamental factors that boosted demand.

It's all supply and demand. There is no change in the demand in housing, the demand for landlords is not changing. But more people are looking for tenants. That's when the investment becomes speculative.

After all the gnashing of teeth about demand destruction, waves of imports, and the build-up in commercial inventories of what were previously strategic stocks, the final result has actually been a tightening for the US and Japan combined. Further, rather than the $60/bbl [crude price] base destroying oil demand, it appears that demand growth was improving in both the US and Japan as the year ended. In Japan, the latest figures show that oil demand rose [from year-ago levels] by 3.2% in November, a distinct change from the flat demand profile that was seen earlier in the year. Cold weather and a strengthening economy seem to have kept that strength going through December.
