    Maybe the VI's are like the authorities in Thelma & Louise, when they had them cornered just before the end.

    Well if it is the the first V the drop would have lasted going on two years, so the bull trap must be the same icon7.gif

    I'm still trying to work out what VI means......

    Apart from that, I agree with everyone...err I think!

    VI = Vested Interest

    Everyone has a Vested Interest.

    Those that STR have a Vested interest in prices falling

    Those that have property as an investment want prices to rise.

    Those that are renting want rents and prices down

    Those that are BTL LL's want rents and yields to rise

    Those that want a holiday want air fares, hotels etc to be cheaper while the pound to be stronger

    Everyone has a Vested Interest, it just depends where your interest lies

    What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
    Some men you just can't reach.

    Best post so far. Don't forget that those who are waiting to buy have a VI in prices falling too, important one, that.
