I have to say dopesters posts are a joy to read (in a realistic way you understand), there seems to be a kind of strange force behind them that I can't put my finger on. I'd vote for him.

The force of pessimism and fear? Dopester has more bears rallying to him than an innocent hiker who's left a jam jar open in the middle of the canadian rockies.

Is he as thick as pigs+it then?

Too much over analysis on the issue of buying on here,what you describe is perfectly normal in civvy street.
Regardless of whats going on the average joe is getting on with it,saying that i lost £400 at Chester races on sunday,everythings a gamble to some extent in my eyes.

Unlucky, I only had one winner the last one at 12-1.

Agree that general public don't really care and just want to buy houses. Don't think sentiment has dropped at all during the crash tbh. It isn't Desire that has been lacking, its Demand

I disagree, although his posts seem pessimstic, that is the way of the world at this time, they are absolutely realistic, talking us out of recession as the government/media is trying to do will not work in the medium/long term, in fact failure to look at the problems and act on quickly and sensibly will most likely make things a whole lot worse. Which is exactly what will happen as we kick the problems into the next parliament.

Think maybe october 2008 was the bull trap.

not feeling this tbh. Im bearish but dont really agree with Dopester. I didn't think prices could really start falling again till transaction levels rose above current levels.

On a completely separate note, who are 'rewired' and 'rewired3' people that happily go about thanking everyone yet do not make a single post?

Give us your opinions our wirey friends. And is there a rewired2?

I noticed rewired3 thanked your post, so I am posting now because since NDG disappeared my thanks count has plummeted.... I need my Thanks Fix.

I am hoping that rewired, rewired2, rewired3 will ALL thank this post of mine ... and maybe spawn forth a rewired4 etc too.

rewired3 thanks bull posts

You've been doing good work in leading the bear-resistance side in this forum in recent months it seems to me.

I've been a bit sapped for energy. It has been a bruising few months for the bears and the bulls know it.

Just read this article in the Times which tallies up with my last post on this thread.
