Using the Joe graph I can only just about make out 1992 and there were no dramatic falls after that
The others if they are there, they are hidden, not like your chart.
Thought it was just my eyes! There's possibly a 1 pixel sized bulltrap on there apart from the 92 one, but until someone lends me Hubble so I can zoom in far enough I'll have to take GD's word for it.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Can't have it all ways.
I really am eye wateringly bored with the illustration arguing. It's becoming pathetic in all honesty. One minute theres no timeline so its wrong, the next you want to paste a point in time on it to say its wrong.
Seriously guys. Take stock. If it's wrong, explain why. But don't say its wrong one way and then use why you said it was wrong the first time to say its wrong again. You'll notice it also has no indicator of the prices on the vertical axis, though thats not stopped anyone taking the vertical axis as godsend.
It's an indicator, that is all. Over and out.
Here is the chart applied to Brent crude with a time line and a value -0 -

That bit made me smile'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
seriously though, does anyone really believe that house prices have stopped falling and people should be rushing to buy a house?
I'm sorry but I just can't see prices recovering for years and years, despit some small blips along the way."I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there.

But that is what we have been saying if you belive the graph we are at the end. The bulls are saying it is bull.0 -

Did you expect them to treble in the first place?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

They didn't treble over 12 - 14 months, it was a sustained climb. Twelve years of growth followed by just 14 months of falls?
