70% club does it again!

In another triumph of economic forecasting, the 70%C correctly identified serious problems in the economy before the Financial Times and other leading media organisations.

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2226213

Our predictions were based on analysis of media spin and unusually high levels of empty wine bottles outside mortgage holders houses. It has now been revealed that economic growth was almost zero (0.1% underwritten by the government's cash bangers scheme) and that we are now heading for a double dip recession/depression.

Notes to Editors
The 70% club is a global leader in financial forecasting. Led by the gifted and charismatic Simian Macaque ADHD, the 70%C has raised the bar for economists and financial analysts throughout the developed world. Some of our remarkable predictions include:
  • Correctly predicted the credit crunch
  • Correctly predicted that the house price crash would progress in stages
  • Correctly predicted the 70% crash (not complete yet)

    I like Macaque's posts and would be happy to see my house drop 70% in value in order to give him some reward for the work he does.

    He give freely of his time, and does his good works while demanding no thanks, and opening himself up to ridicule. A sort of Bob Geldof of the House price board.

    One day he will be appreciated properly.

    Well good for him. Sounds a generous type, rare & much admired and appreciated - but don't equate him to BOB:cool:
