    You should spend less time complaining the bears are out to get you and posting this kind of drivel everywhere, and more time contributing to the actual discussion on the threads.

    "Is that it then, is it all over?"

    NO, far from it.

    Sorry but can't any one remember the reasons for the credit crunch? They are still well in play. The debt is still there, ok some of it may have a value but it is still round our necks. Sub prime was only one third of the US housing sectors problem, there are the other 2 classfications which are being hit and the debt rissing.

    Low interest rates just delay the problem from naturally correcting, we have a long way to go yet. If you doubt this then look at the UKs debt mountain in comparison with savings. We are far from healthy.

    You don't speak for the forum you know. Just yourself and a few others maybe.

    It's over mewbs.

    2009 has been a disaster for the majority of the forum, maybe you should have listened to the few.

    It is sold to rent posters like PN & Ad that I feel sorry for.
    If there were a few less bears on here, they might not have sold their home, and had the government cover their mortgage debt at 6% of the outstanding balance (assuming they're unemployed).

    I actually agree.

    But the massive, red, agreesive font really makes me want to disagree.

    Is what over? It means something different to whoever reads it...
    I think it's one of those silly phrases.
