You may be dissapointed, but your not denying it are you?

I would, but theres no real point, you will only talk about supply and demand and then tell me a new shop has opened in Aberdeen which had someone window shopping outside of it therefore were all wrong

Anyone would have thought that Dominic Frisby and Michael Hampton were regulars on HPC boards...:D
I wonder what their aliases are.

I would say, but then I'd have to shoot y'all.
Actually the analysis makes some sense, as this reflects the opinion of institutional investors of the new build housing market and by extension the whole housing market.Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable. J. K. Galbraith0 -

I tell you, I'm sure you mention Aberdeen more than I do :rotfl:
I promise not to talk of supply and demand, I know you do not understand what we tried to explain the other day
If you disagree with my interpretation of where we are (an answer to your question), please say why so we can discuss.:wall:

GD.
You know when you did charts and graphs at school or business studies (erm not sure about that one)
Did you just draw something or write anything and just argue it was right.
e.g. when doing a graph did you used to say you don't need a scale?:D0 -

Let's put this to bed right now
Graph
1. A diagram that exhibits a relationship, often functional, between two sets of numbers as a set of points having coordinates determined by the relationship. Also called plot.
2. A pictorial device, such as a pie chart or bar graph, used to illustrate quantitative relationships. Also called chart.:wall:

What's this got to do with me?! Is was you lot calling it graphs. I been careful all along calling it a graph / chart / picture.
Obviously, it doesnt need to have anything to do with what i have said. So I guess we should have a graph / chart / doodle argument anyway.It's got all the graphs to including the stages of grief graph and it's moneyweek known rampers of the housing market.
Though, yes, obviously it was me who suggested it was a graph, you are indeed both right!0 -

Wasn't me who talked of people with guns, and wasn't me who posted the picture / chart / graph either as you suggested in another post just now.
Seems you are getting confused yourself GDGraham_Devon wrote: »
scary graph
Just looking at the graph, chart, whatever it is for a second, forgetting the ridicule it creates.
Where would people actually put us now? And by what index?
We'd just be approaching the next leg down after "return to normal" wouldn't we, with prices having gained back about half of what they fell from peak on the mortgage company index's?
Or do people disagree?
I still find it an interesting picture, regardless of whether it turns out to be right or wrong.
Certainly, the fall from peak, and then the rise again are detailed in that picture, and it's happened exactly that way.....so far.
For reference...
I suppose the prices have indeed gone a little more than half way though, re-looking, notably nationwide.
So to get back on topic, you seem to disagree with my interpretation of where we were on the drawing. Can you make your points as to why?:wall:

You pulled me up on that serious non sarcastic post I made.
Don't even make me find the tread with you swearing blind it is correct and that it is a graph, that the x and y scales are irrelevent and that the mean is irrelevent.
It is still burnt in to my subconscious.0
