Bulls & Bears -What's the difference?

tomterm8 · 1 July 2009 at 10:19PM

In a market bulls and bears in a real market setting - bulls are busy buying the share/commodity/house, and bears are busy short selling the share/commodity/house. People who aren't in the market are irrelevant.

On this forum, the difference between bulls and bears seem to be that... well... they are both bonkers, but they are either irrationally optomistic or irrationally pessimistic. But mostly both bulls and bears share the ability to post reams of stuff with the entire certainty that they, and only they, will be able to correctly forecast the future. Even though they can't. If they could, they would be Warrant Buffet, or whatever his name is.

Yes, as sad as it is, every single bull poster on there was demoted to troll status today. Every single one of them. No posts or threads without mods censoring them.

And no coincidence it happened now that prices are rising. The mods admitted it is because we might influence newcomers.

As cringeworthy as it is it's not even remotely surprising.

Welcome to the board Hamish.

I think you will find that your HPI cheerleading bullsh1t gets a better reception here.

why don't you start your own thread?

Oh god, now Hamish is over here :eek:

Being a bit disingenuous, Hamish - you are allowed to post replies as normal without having to wait for
mod approval.. You just need to get approval for starting new topics. Which, considering your past efforts, is probably a good thing.

Oh no! As if things weren't bad enough we're now importing sockies/trolls from elsewhere. That'll make the board even more harmonious......not

HA HA, totally forgot about that thread, one of my better ones.

And no, we can't post without mod approval either. WHich takes hours, and ends up with the post out of sequence.

Really? How about these random bulls then?
just page 1 of member search for bulls - none of them demoted to troll status. Face it, it was just you and a couple of other relentless troublemakers who got trolled, and for good reason - all you posted was the same old bear-bait every single time, in every thread regardless of its original topic.

Heh heh, I'm going to like this place.

ALL of the prolific bulls, the regularly posting ones, got troll grouped.

Pure censorship. And no coincidence it happened when prices started rising.

Bulls can have an open and honest debate about house prices.

Bears feel insecure and get emotionally involved, as they feel society owes them a cheaper house.

Ah, I see. How dare they label you a troll! :rolleyes:
