Which fundamentals would these be then?

The only fundamental that really counts in market direction is Human will.
Honestly there is so mmuch wealth around now, it astounds me. Come and sit with me for a day and I'll show you. Just ordinary London folk with so much asset wealth.

To quote a very sick joke.

"9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape"

I find it sick to think that people like Hamish wallow in others misery and actively enjoy people not having the same chances as they have. What a negative minded and nasty indiviual.

What about families? Families starting out, without asset wealth.

How are they fairing?

Whereas you would like negative equity, defaulting mortgages and people thrown out onto the streets so house prices crash :eek:

Wow, what a surprising prediction from Capital Economics.
Remind me again, how much did they predict the housing market would fall this year?
Wasn't it 20% or so?
I bet it really sticks in their throat that the most accurate prediction for this year came from Stuart Law at Assetz management.
And from the article....
No kidding.....

Capital Economics did get it wrong. They made the mistake of applying rational economic theory whilst Gordon Brown was at the helm. They underestimated Gordon's determination to sustain the bubble. We now have interest rates at their lowest level for 300 years and massive levels of quantitative easing. Capital Economics never reckoned on Gordon putting a match to the balloon canopy to keep it aloft.

As it happens, I belief Capital Economics have got it wrong again. They have underestimated the falls. We are heading for a sterling crisis and when that happens, interest rates will take off. Markets get their own way in the end.

Honestly Thrugelmir, had they just flipped a coin they could have been right half the time.

As it stands, they have been right for not one of the seven years they have made a prediction.

Not even one!!!!!!

I mean, really, how bad do you have to be to get it so spectaculary wrong so consistently?

Even if it crashes 50% they will still be wrong
