    This arch market bull is advocating we all snap up the bargains while stocks last!

    "....Interest rates on your hard-earned savings have now crashed. So why not be in the vanguard with the clever investors and buy property, get the market moving, and begin to feel confident that when the market comes back you will be sitting on a nice little earner...."

    But which decade will that be in?

    Is this woman related to Krusty?
    You can be 100% sure that this idiot was also saying BUY, BUY, BUY this time last year at the height of the market. :rotfl:

    She must have shares in housebuilders or something

    Wow, did you see that:
    House builders are making no secret of their plight. Taylor-Wimpey is promoting a "one day only, change your life", deal across the Home Counties.
    At the Edge, in Edgware, Bryant Homes is offering a special halfprice deal to first time buyers who have a minimum of 5% deposit.
    A £189,000 one-bedroom flat has been cut to £89,975. That is a remarkable piece of evidence that house builders have been brought to their knees.

    Is that genuine or are there strings?

    Strings, more like chains, it's that shared ownership nonsense

    Had I just bought, I daresay I would be as uptight on the subject as some of the posters on this thread! :rotfl:

    Laughing at others, now that is a surprise! :rolleyes:
