God my head hurts you lot do argue a lot of bullocks!
I'm sticking at a few up and down blips with an overall 10ish% drop over 2009.
my 2009 prediction at beginning of year was 10-12% down y-o-y at end of december with the larger falls to come in 2010
I'm thinking more around 9-11% down for the year now tbh with the larger falls to come in 2010Prefer girls to money0 -

But they have been substantial falls. Sure, we are likely to get more falls, but with little rises as well - it will keep prices more-or-less around this level for the next few years.0 -

Apologies, I keep hearing on here that they had trebled'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 -

Not unless you mean "more little falls, but with little rises as well". We're going to see small rises as the market pauses for breath and then larger falls when realism sets back in. The graphs will look like the steps down to the (bargain) basement.
I'm expecting 90% drops before we hit bottom.

I went for 10% this year.
I am not confident on that now. someone should do a new poll0 -

Yes, I saw one poster reckoned they had increased by 50% virtually overnight :rolleyes:. This sort of statement doesn't help the Bear cause and should be disregarded as the rantings of a crank by the wider community. IMHO."I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there.
