............ Two cautionary pieces about the current rally............


Britain sleep walking towards a decade of economic misery

Summer recovery will turn to a cold winter


Beware of the trap.

And don't forget, inflation is theft and debt is not wealth.

    What is the point of this nearlynew? Posting bearish editorials by unexperts. You know that the bulls will just counterpost contrary bullish editorials by other unexperts.

    Don't you find it all a bit . well . . meaningless?

    we're all doomed!!!
    we're all HPI cheerleading debt junkies!!!
    it's the end of the world!!!

    Nearlynew - how come your so concerned about the bullish people??
    why would you care or are you being desperate to convince people that owning 3 house (like you do) is ok? ;)

    Because they are scared of all the good news coming out.

    Why don't nearlynew and shakerbaby buy a place together.
    You could then be together 24/7, not just post together 24/7.
    They could also froth about bulls as much as they want without posting some of the drivel about them on here.

    Even though those 2 articles are quite pessimistic, there is one silver lining..............


    We will probably end up with lower and more sustainable house prices.



    So cheer up, it's not all doom and gloom.
