Why are the Bulls here buying this 0.1% recovery

digipeep

OK there are only two real bulls here, and a couple of understudies but surely all these fictitious positive noises that we have had for the last nine months register with them and that it is only the Liebour government just clinging on to power come what May that keeps this HPB going. I can see huge headlines coming up from some rags that house prices are going to rise 20% by December, until after the election when reality will hit home.

What is the point of it. It's all false. Nobody is buying houses. The market doesn't exist anymore as we know it. We are all just digesting politician's and vested interest's sound bites at the moment.

Happy house hunting.

Where is your counter argument?

Simply posting on here that "It's all stuff and nonsense" just doesn't cut it. If you believe so strongly that figures are being manipluated and the housing market /economy recovery is a pack of lies, then surely you have an abundance of evidence that you based your decision on.

Can we see it?

One of them seems to be an okay person, but also admits he is no lover of children.

For him, pricing his kids of the market forever is irrelevant.

For me, this is a big thing.

WE've been through it all of it before.

The QE is bringing forward of GDP to keep up current GDP figures.

The housing state are meaningless as they exclude huge areas on the market.

IE all STATS are crap.

That's not hard evidence, it's just your interpretation or prediction on what you believe will happen.

I agree about the national housing stats being meaningless, and said as much yesterday. Everyone should be looking at the figures for their local area. My local area does show an increase though, but then I'm outer London.

Personally I beleive that showing the stats to be lies IS the best evidence we have.

But as I showed in a different thread, back in 2008 when prices were falling, you were more than happy to take the Haliwide figures as gospel. Why are only negative figures accurate?
