so you've come across from HPC.co.uk to post on another forum just to call Hamish a troll.
what would that make you i wonder... :rolleyes:0 -
i don't understand the 4th reason - its headline is
4. The supply of homes is set to surge
and then later in the article it basically states that the supply isn't going to surge but the amount of money in the housing market is going to decrease as baby boomers down size
Don't confuse them with logic. It makes their heads hurt.;)
I note they haven't addressed what would happen to the price of small FTB size houses if a million boomers all tried to downsize at once.....:D“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

He raised plenty of valid points in his post but AGAIN they get ignored in favour of personal attacks and !!!!!!!! responses, it's SO tedious.
And it's not trolling, do the internet a favour and look up the definition.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Check out my posting record, doofus.
I have been here for quite a while, since the 17th December last year to be precise. I have not just come here from anywhere.
Now get back to the topic ."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."
"I could play all day in my Green Cathedral".
"The Centuries that divide me shall be undone."
"A dream? Really, Doctor. You'll be consulting the entrails of a sheep next. "0 -

I think the internet cares as much as I do about how you choose to interpret the word troll.
Get back to the topic yourself. No valid points were made. Care to debate that instead of ranting about the use of the word troll ?"There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."
"I could play all day in my Green Cathedral".
"The Centuries that divide me shall be undone."

When you read stuff like this :-
"Because when capital economics say prices will fall, it is almost 100% guaranteed they will do the opposite.
Capital Economics have the WORST house price prediction record in the history of house price predictions."
This is wild-eyed nonsense with no facts to back it up.
Can someone post either the CE graph or the CE press release history......Just a case of playing the messenger rather than the message.
And what you just did was.....You know Hamish does not want to offer reasoned debate, he just wants to troll. That was why he was canned from HPC after all. Other Bulls are still there and still post and also get a very fair hearing.
All the prominent bulls got banned. Not just me.
And only after prices started rising. Gee, I wonder why.....“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

In a nutshell, this completely blows the ‘lack of supply’ case right out of the water.

the only point that talked about supply was the 4th point

can you please explain0
