So if the facts tomorrow are if it is negative it is true and it is positive it is manipulated.
Sounds to me like some cut there cloth to suit.
To be fair, the poster did not say this, he simply asked for the facts to be presented, as did Julie.mbga has a long history of requesting sources from others without ever providing any himself in his fantasist posts.
Presumably he gets all his facts from the same place that told him about the imaginary bank going bust and the subsequent libor crash, as well that the "carnage" in the FTSE we've had recently thats sees it close to it's 6 month high.
To be fair again, as soon as facts were asked for, they were given.0 -
Like they cared whilst they priced me out the market?Necessary for others to take pain while you profit from that pain.
That's nice.
Like they cared whilst they were benefitting from massive expansions in consumer credit lending which resulted in my future taxes being used to bail out reckless banks? Whilst some of us were being responsible, they decided to pump personal debt to the highest level in history.
Swings and roundabouts my friend.
And I am not profiting. The market is correcting and I will get fair price. I cant stop people being stupid and buying the biggest purchase in their lifetime, together with a 25 year promise to make monthly payments, at the top of the market now can I? Perhaps the BOE or FSA could have . They chose not to.0 -

why are you priced out? i thought you were a high earner with a fat deposit?0 -
I am priced out from the type of house I could have bought if the boom hadnt happened and we had stable HPI. Tell you what, seeing that I went to all the bother of living through getting priced out, think I will stick round till prices drop below average.0

With Preliminary GDP results out for the last quarter tomorrow is it possible we could be "officially" out of recession?
The current forecast is-0.2% drop, anyone think it could be back to being positive?
I must be going mental, I could have sworn this thread started yesterday ...! I only opened it up to say "It's tomorrow now, did we?"0 -
