    There's a lesson to be learned from all these 50% falls threads being posted every year, that never come to pass.

    Wonder what it could be?

    Transpires that anything less that 50% real term falls is a win for the bulls. Apparently. :rotfl:

    I think everyone should remember that this cycle has not finished yet.
    Also if the BOE had not reduced interest rates and QE`d then house prices would have corrected.

    If Doctors never bothered healing the sick, a lot more people would die.

    Did it really never occur to any of you bears that monetary easing would be a likely response to a recession?

    Given that the articles are within the same 12 month period, it does rather suggest that the lesson is how bad you are with numbers.

    Do you really believe that it will work?

    I wonder what happened to the people making these predictions - did they end up buying or are they still waiting.
