Homes as Investments
Ben Bernanke lives with his wife and two children in a house on Capitol Hill. Oh, wait, scratch that: according to Brendan Murray, Ben Bernanke lives with his wife and two children "in an investment that's turned cold".
Maybe it's just me, but I find this kind of reporting rather irksome. Bernanke is chairman of the Federal Reserve, he works in Washington, he has a family, it makes perfect sense for him to own a house on Capitol Hill, to live in. Not as an "investment", just as a place where he can make a home and provide comfortable shelter for his family.
