    No I have just funded a project to bread more great white sharks. (you can only hope he looks like a seal)

    My points have all been on topic on this thread and my Chinese property point disproved a myth that the chinese were prudent by choice (they are so low paid they have to save)

    I am the better man and that better man as a job Wookster. There was no threat it is plain to see.

    By by I should imagine your user account will be gone by the weekend.

    I wonder if !!!!!! will be back :rotfl: :rolleyes:

    Are falling house prices bad? Not for enyone looking to buy!

    For the economy you bet look at every economy with falling house prices and look at how they are doing.

    It is obvious falling house prices are not a good thing in terms of the economy.

    That's a logical fallacy - post hoc ergo propter hoc.
    Because an economy doing badly has falling house prices, it does not logically follow that falling house prices are the cause of that.

    Indeed, it is more likely that the falling house prices are the result of them rising too high in the first place and causing the economy to go bust.

    How sad that your test of who's a better man depends on who has a job and who doesn't.

    No great whites around the South Coast of the UK so unlikely, but hold your breath anyways, lets see you blue :cool:

    So falling house prices are bad for the economy bubble or not once you pop it, it is bad for the economy.:confused:

    Deflation is bad for any economy houses or not.:confused:

    PS I never said hose prices caused the falling economys but they are bad for the economy and the data is undeniable.
