    Why do you insist on acting like a complete tool over and over?

    Careful carol will forward you to abuse.

    you'll notice that he hasn't been able to reply or even comprehend any of Hamish or my points about the causes of supply and demand.

    he's used his favourite tool of distraction if things aren't going his way by derailing the discussion.
    what a prize idiot.

    now, now Graham... there's no need to get angry :rotfl:
    you'll probably claim that i started on you next like the little victim that you are

    listen chumpster - i like laughing at how thick you and slow you are.
    do you have an issue with that?

    btw - here are a couple of your predictions....
    FTSE to go to 2,250 - it's currently at 5,361
    House prices to fall 50%-70% from peak - we know what happened there

    there are more but you've made yourself look more than a fool on plenty of occasions - which is why from your past predictions you're not the best positioned to make a call on what's going to happen in the future.
    top bombing chumpster!!

    Jeez chucky. "I think your a d*ck too" would have sufficed.

    i said there wasn't going to be a general house price crash but a correction in the more vulnerable areas - max price drop would be 25%-28%.

    i also said that QE would happen once lehmans and bear stearns hit the wall due to the destruction of wealth and holes that would be left in the other banks balance sheets.

    i also said repossessions wouldn't be as bad as the 90s which would stop the more crash resistant/resiliant areas crashing as much.

    i also believe a bigger house price drops will come in the medium term - my cheque book and pen will be waiting :T

    chucky I usually agree with most of what you write but you're getting ever so slightly over excited with the graham abuse.

    after a quick search here's one of my predictions for London
    chucky wrote: »
    30% at least for poor properties
    better properties will see drops but would say up and around 10%.
    if the poorer property drops more this will drag down the general price of all London property.

    been looking at something for a while that never really moved in price and has gone for £1,100 sq foot. that is just crazy
