Google has a tool called Google Trends . This tool lets you know what words people search through Google. Are there signs of the approaching end of the housing bubble in Spain? Well, looks like it (you can click on images to enlarge):
Spain is the country of the world's most Wanted "Euribor" and every time I look for more. Especially since July 2007.
Something similar happens with searches for the word "debt" with a spectacular rally that also starts in the third quarter of 2007.
course, worrying trends that makes Google Trends, in the light of what we know: "Euribor" upward, highly indebted households and businesses with loans indexed to "Euribor", the price of housing to low and banks making a fist of credit.
But most worrying is that for several years no one has looked up the word "ruin" in Spain. Or has sought so little that has not appeared on Google Trends analysis. For the first time in the latest review of Google Trends, it appears in the third quarter of 2007 the word ruin, sought to force.
One of two, or there is a greater interest in history and archeology and the holidays are going to be many looking for Roman ruins, or people suddenly have serious financial problems.
Updated: not you going to believe. A few hours after he published this post, Google Trends have removed the word "ruin" of his analysis in Spain. Is there a black hand that hides the information to avoid panic? Anything else would be much chance ...
