when do you mean specifically?
because the 2007 house price drops weren't due to greed and excess - they were due to credit drying up.
we may not have seen any house price drops if the credit issues hadn't happened.
Yer.
I can't even be bothered.
Though, not to have you running around asking the same question over and over and showing everyone I haven't answered you, I have bothered to tell you, that I won't be answering you
So now, you can tell people I don't understand, whatever.
So I'll use this post, to say.... Am I bovvered?0 -
Oh, you added to your post.
What caused credit to dry up?
Edit....and now you have deleted your post, after editing it again.

if Lehmans had been taken over like Bear Stears or even like the BoA merger many of the issues may not have appeared for a long while.
as for previous HPC's they were not due to greed or excess - 1990s and 1980sGraham_Devon wrote: »Edit....and now you have deleted your post, after editing it again.

Quoted this, as I'm going to have to take it as your final answer...and it may dissapear yet. (Edit, oh no, still playing around with it are we!?....finished yet?)
So, thats your answer? That's all there was to it?
Suddenly, from being so switched on, you have dumbed your answer down to that one singular line as a reason for the global crash.
Sorry, what was you asking me again? What greed and excess had to do with it?
Well, why not tell me....why were the banks not liquid?0 -

Really?
I'm surprised if it was that. But to be fair there are quite a few things that could have earned it. I suspect it was more the weight of evidence?0 -
And there we have it.

Chucky, it's like me saying the reason for the titanic sinking was because it had a hole in it.
