Why There Is No Housing Bubble

From “Why There Is No Housing Bubble” by Jim Jubak, June 2005:

It’s just that, for all the teeth-gnashing and pundit-moralizing, we really don’t have a housing bubble that’s anywhere near bursting. Current 10-year interest rates are just too low. And I certainly don’t see interest rates rising enough in the next year or so to burst a bubble, either.”

As of now (February 2009), this guy is still writing for MSN, as “The Web’s No. 1 Investing Columnist” and “Senior Markets Editor”. Why do people still listen to these talking heads regardless of how many times they’re proven wrong?
