    You and others are making a big thing of "6 UP" mattering. Because in the 90s there was no such period, so it must mean something...I call that comparing...

    What? You are the only one talking about the 90s. No-one else.

    I'm saying, where were you all at the 15th DOWN month, acknowledging that this crash was something special/unseen?

    I was calling the bottom, ask Dev he put it in his signature hoping to make me look stupid at a later date icon7.gif

    As you like comparing to the 90s so much, how about this: Average house prices fell 12%-15% before reaching the bottom in the 90s.

    We have already had more then that this time, the only difference being much quicker.


    You denied that a house price crash would ever happen.

    Now it has happened, you are using it in your argument that those who said it would were wrong to make comparisons with the 90s - because it has been different this time.

    But we SAID it would be worse than last time!

    does down ~15% (according to some numbers on the beeb) genuinely count as a crash ? who decides where that line is drawn ?

    if this is the end, then who was right?

    If it is (which I don't think it is entirely) I wasn't I thought further. But adding to that thinking so would have made me extremely fortunate also.

    But to Add I think Graham decides, but he is not around at the moment. :)
