The analogies are getting out of hand.  Come on, Alan..  you should know
better than that.  ;)   Houses typically appreciate, and prices are swayed
by many social/government/cultural factors.


Whereas cars and computers usually depreciate.  Maybe the only other
analogy would be food, but there ain't no such thing as a meal for under
$10 at a "restaurant"... that would be a fast food or selve-serve
joint.  ;)  At a real restaurant you get served and you get a paid chef
on-site.  So.. they are not the same thing.
