I would call a 22% fall significant enough. Bears merely feel that the market is overpriced and overvalued on a macro level. Within any market there are sub markets which are moving independently They are not predicting catastrophic falls as you suggest. .

What about the 70% club what about the Brit 50% by Christmas I put it to you Mlud that it was bulls that were predicting 20-30% falls the bears were predicting/hoping for catastrophe :eek: Unless of course you are saying that they have changed their mind.

Don't agree w this tbh. If you were predicting falls then you were a bear. At the point you changed to predict rises you became a bull.

This doesn't make any sense! "I am a bull I think prices will fall 15-20%". You were a bear.

I agree, but the mega bears wouldn't let us join their group unless we predicted 40% plus

of course it didn't/does make sense.

insults and and a bit of ganging up took place (no complaints by the way, t'was all good) but unless you predicted or wanted 40% falls you were delusional and not in the real world.

This is a comment I made back in Feb 2007, does it sound like a bull

I just don't see the point in investing in property at this moment, I can see a time in the future where it would be a great addition to my portfolio but not now.

My forecast was for a 20% drop from the top with a bottom in Spring 2009, the bears were not impressed with bullish forecast

Cheers for that. No you don't sound like a bull. You sound like a bear.

Wasn't really around in Feb 2007 imo, so haven't really got a clue who "the bears" were and why you somehow weren't one. Finding this idea of "the bulls" and "the bears" as unchanging entities kinda weird tbh - but oddly fascinating

I predicted 22% and I'm considered a bull.
I guess it's cause of my long term view
