Sorry my apologies i neglected to account for your reason of prices continuing to increase towars the end of the year and then..falling 10%.
But still if a price contraction occurs I doubt everyone will be in a positive position. Someones going to have to have bought at the top before it falls in order for a top price to have been established..those are the one who will have lost money as it falls. With contracting markets there are always loses otherwise it would be contracting.
