Deep in drink, I have just latched onto this thread. Can I ask if "dervish" has actually replied, much, following his/her opener? As a reply to the opening thread, I do think Kirstie Allsopp is very attractive, but have no reason to believe she knows any more about house price predictions, than I do. (Sorry, I should state that I'm a retired truck driver.)

Dervish could just have been trolling, or, like you, had an access of incahol, but nobody on here gives a monkey's whether she/he replies or not! It is enough that K A was mentioned, to take this thread to 8 pages and beyond.

To many, Kirstie represents the unacceptable face of property greed, whilst to others, she's merely one half of a vaguely amusing double act on a property !!!!!! show. I tend towards the latter view myself, mainly because I can't remember a single thing about any of 'Location x3' programmes I've seen within 5 minutes of their ending.

I wouldn't, it sounds uncomfortable, and you might get splinters.

If it had spikes it might be even more painful...

but when it comes to krusty: sorry annpan, you should've gone to specsavers!

(before anyone accuses me of mysogyny: she doesn't do anything for me, regardless of HPI nonsense).

I'm sure she'll be heartbroken !!!!:rotfl:

I'd like to see what YOU look like? I bet YOU'RE no George Clooney!:p

Haha. No, they were not 'mean' to me.I just happen to have enough knowledge to see that they talk drivel. It annoys me. They were talking about swap rates a while ago. 90% of them had little clue about what they were talking about. My colleague worked on the credit desk and after work one day we took a look at what these guys were saying about swaps. It was hilarious. the same with FX and strength of the pound. It's amazing how dangerous a miniscule amount of knowledge can be. They turn a CDS ~900 and spout off about how the world is going to end.

I feel badly for those that trust their opinions. They turn up at the site and are indoctrinated by these people. It could potentially have lost people a lot of money.

If I didn't buy the house I purchased in 2005 like many on that site were suggesting I would be many hundreds of K worse off than I am now. Fortunately I have a brain and didn't listen but what about those people who do allow themselves to be influenced by their crap?

So no, I have not been picked on Most of those no hopers would have very little basis to pick on anyone.

It doesn't take a genius to work out what the house price futures are though:

http://www.spreadfair.com/
Another 27% of falls yet to come.

Another 30% of falls yet to come.

Chew on that.

and these are the same people that make England 4th favourites to win the World Cup in 2010!!!

these are betting odds that people bet on, nothing else.
please go ahead if you want to depend your life or buying a house on someone laying odds on a betting exchange...

Forgive me if I don't put too much faith in the opinion of someone on a forum who claims to be able to beat the market. I like to think for myself, thanks, a small part of which involves acknowledging derivatives prices.

I'm not going to be lumping bets on. I would only do so if:
1) I believed house prices are not going to down (much) further,
2) I believed I knew better than the derivative markets.

Sounds like a few people here tick both of those boxes, though...

without going out and betting (property derivs are betting) both boxes are very subjective and personal to an individual dependant on circumstances etc etc. as you know these numbers are very general and are not specific to local variances. it's just like people on this forum who probably live in Southport and are experts on property prices in Brighton.

in addition, derivatives are used as hedges against another side of a transaction - are you sure that these companies aren't exposed to the market rising? we do not see the previous transactions that have been done, not saying that this is the case but it's something to consider.

if anyone did take notice of someone giving advice on a forum (especially this forum!!) they should not really be going out and making the biggest purchase that they would ever make by buying a home.

Oh dear. Chucky thinks he knows how to beat the markets now.

There's little point debating Economics with chucky. To him, tying his own shoelaces in the morning is a major achievement.

All good points, and it's worth treating all indicators with a critical eye.

Nevertheless, if I was counting on house prices significantly outperforming the futures prices I'd be more than a bit concerned. (Although if I was a homeowner without a mortgage headache I probably wouldn't care either way...)
