    Thought my bear credentials needed a bit of a polish. I've been drifting into positive mode on occasion recently.

    I still clash with the odd few (it's fun).
    But most people I find fine, a few of the new ones have called me a good few names and I have hardly responded.
    There are a few good ones to spar with on here but some take it far to personal.
    I see this place like business you try to get on but sometimes you clash but thats how it is, no need to play the victim enjoy the spar and get on with the next one.
    we can't play I am right about the future card as it as not been run yet. We can only use what we see to predict what will happen to ourselves.

    The one that has always stuck in my mind is Dangerman. He had a couple of btl's bought in 2007 and he was only 23. He could see no danger at all.

    Whatever anyone said he was ok, although he admitted to a small contingency fund and high leverage. It was 'so what if my mortgage goes up, I will just raise the rents'. 'So what if one my properties are empty, I can afford to pay the mortgage out of my earnings from my job'.

    He had tunnel vision, a classic case of 'things will stay the same'. I wonder how he's gone on. Hope he hasn't lost his job or had to reduce the rents to attract tenants. Or both !!. I was scared for him but he had no worries.
