As long as you understand that the long term trend is fact of where the average house price has trended over a long period and understand that this is what on average house prices should have been at that time.

To re-ask the question then.

I have understood that from the very start and have never said or implied or suggested or nodded at the fact I didn't.

As we are at the long term trend line, would people accept if there was stabalisation following that trend going forward? <edit> instead of booms and busts above and below the line</edit>

No

The trend line has been pulled up by the recent (no real timeframe attached on purpose) ***RISE*** in prices

Julie, for the avoidance of completely pointless, unecessary, petty and ongoing arguments, I shall just leave you to your an*l holier than you stance.

Jeez, it was a simple analogy with a simple miss use of words which you have made a complete needless and pointless mountain out of, so do me a favour and stop humping my leg, cus I aint interested.

Have fun.

I've no idea what you're on about with respect to words, boom and bust are perfectly fine in this context. It's just that the trend line doesn't move on price rises, on price falls, on booms or busts.

You raised the point about whether price changes moved the line (which they don't), so presumably you had some reason for doing so, but as usual when you're challenged you go off on a deflection fest.

So can I assume that you are not arguing that the trend line should be moved down to reflect "true" trends, thereby making the HPC graph fit?

A simple yes or no will do.

No it hasn't Graham. That's the whole point really.

You can assume whatever you like. If I explained it it would make not a jot of difference anyway.

I'm not really too sure what the question is, but for some peace, I'll opt for no.

And yes, it has.

Well done Graham, correct answer.

What were you arguing, just as a matter of interest?

Well I guess there is no further point in trying to explain or reason on this point.

Your going round in circles and still haven't understood that the amount the trend has been pulled up by in recent years is minimal and if there is an overshoot similar to before below the trend line, it would only be pulled down marginally.

I guess that possibly unsubconciously to you, you subscribe to the boom and bust of house prices above and below the proven long term trend

I've already stated, I'm not arguing.

For someone who picks up on the smallest of misuse's of words, you don't half miss a lot of the obvious stuff.

Anyway, I apologise, but can I ask again? Give it a break!!!

white and black are completely different things, black is an absence of colour, and is only actually black because our language tells us such, maybe black really is white, and we're all incorrectly interpreting the signals our brain tells us, how about that ???
