Would you prefer $1 in cash in the one hand or on the other hand an asset of $1,000,000 and $999,999 debt? If your view of 10K is a short term one you will the take the $1 in cash which is what the sellers are doing to take their profit now. If your view of 10K is a long term one, you bank on the potential of the $1,000,000 becoming $10,000,000 in the event that the value goes up, which is what the buyers and hoarders are doing.
