Are Bulls on MSE : EA's : BTLers : Other :

Fortunately hope springs eternal, if everyone was perpetually bearish the economy could only ever go down and it would be the end of civilisation.

I wonder how many of the bears here will turn bullish when (assuming they do) the Conservatives win the next election? Not sure what it would prove but mightbe interesting to watch.

Why would you turn bullish if a different government got in?

You tell me, but if bears didn't at some stage turn into bulls the markets could only ever go down.

Was he?

Astonished to see I feel sad - he was quite a good egg.

Maybe he was too nice a guy to make any money?

What a shame.

Anybody in negative equity or heading for negative equity for a start......

The people that were silly enough to borrow ridiculous multiples of their pa wage (most people in UK are ignorant of housing bubbles and thats why VI is working to some extent atm) between 2005 to the end of 2007, I see, and why would most of these people be bothered or not? A house is a home for most of the UK population, not a cash cow and thats how the majority of home owners look at it.
If I was in negative equity, I wouldn't be on here every single day trying to tell people that we are out of recession and house prices have stabilized at the high average there are at. If I lost my job, I still wouldn't be on here every night spouting green shoots, I'd be looking for a job.
Its either BTL or EA and maybe a few people with nothing else to do that bought in the last few years, and want to feel like they made a good financial decision rather than a poor one.

LOL, how can I tell you, when I'm asking you a question based on what you said.

I also don't see why bears need to turn into bulls otherwise the markets could only ever go down?

We have bears, and bulls. If the bears all turned into bulls the markets would go crazy. Bears don't need to turn into bulls for markets to go up?!

There will always be bears, and always bulls, and I don't think it's just something you swap suddenly.
