I'm not getting the point of this thread. The prophecy would appear to be fairly reasonable, and so far we have headed along in that direction quite nicely. By the end of 2010 - who knows - it could be well be close to 40% off?

you're doing that thing again when you don't deal in facts and just believing the nonsense that gets posted by many posters. it would take a 3.29% drop each month at least every month...

you were a little bit premature yesterday with that one Dervish :rotfl:

you need another 23% in 7 months - let me work that out for you... that's 3.29% per month each month... good luck hoping...

Well I'll try to deal in facts and you also. Are we 20% off now? And there's 18 months to the end of 2010. So a little over 1% a month I make it?

Now you have a go.

You may be correct, but is it that likely that you would dig it up from last November to prove your point

nope that article says "Grauniad: Prices could be 40% off peak by 2010".
i see that as by the begining of 2010 - you can always make things up and say that it's the end. but i'll leave that with you. good luck with that.

Oh I see now. We are arguing over whether the article means the beginning or end of 2010 not about the size of the drop.

Well I think end of 2010 is more likely, but if you want to stick your neck out Chucky, up to you.

prices will remain stable, until christmas eve 2010 when they will drop 20% overnight.

merry christmas one and all, ho ho ho.
