Bullish Bulls have been calling the "Soft Landing" every year since 2002.

Well Chuck, glad you asked.

See, timing has become very important to bulls in the wake of the market meltdown the failed to see coming.

Its been a way of attempting to move the goalposts. A rather obvious fall back position if you will.

"So house prices crashed, and you bears were right about that.
Doesn't matter, as someone once STRed in 2003.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING!"

No doubt why it appears to have touched a nerve.

Lets face it, your response above is a variation of that exact same fellacious fallback position.

As were the responses of the many bulls who have contributed to this thread, prior to their hilarious - but inevitable - degeneration into personal attacks.

But its become quite apparent that it wasn't just the bears who had trouble timing the market changes.

The bulls have had quite a time of it as well.
Yet the crash arrived, as it inevitably would.
"never" is a long time to wait for that magical unicorn like soft landing.

You are absoluely right, all of us bulls were conspiring against you. At the last meeting we had I said you were far too illegent not to realise but they wouldn't believe me. You have completely outsmarted us once again geneer, well done

"illegent".

Oh dear. How unfortunate. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yet again, the pram appears to be sans toys.

Yes well I'm not as intelligent as you so I'm bound to make the odd typo, surely you wouldn't expect my posts to be as perfect as yours?

We can't all be geniuses like you know!

Sorry chuck, is this you trying to take the moral high ground after the tone of your contributions?

So heres a HPC blog stating "soft landing is a myth". Dated 2006.

Which in no way suggests that the soft landing was a much talked about subject,
and observed with derision by the property bears.



PS I wonder what happens if you search "soft landing" over on singing pig.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It appears that sometimes you just can't rewrite history.

geneer

Oh look.
Soft landing under discussion on HPC back in 2004.
Suggests its been a popular topic amongst the bears (and of course bulls) for some time.

Geneer - I'm sure everyone on this board will agree with me in saying you were right all along.

Once you started talking about a soft landing on a singing pig I had a moment of clarity and realised how stupid I was for ever buying a house.

Thank you.

i have to give it to you gingernits; you are one of those people that come along once in a generation.

you sir, are a visionary. why didn't people listen to you earlier!!!

I've looked and looked, and you know what? I can't find anyone from this board ever prophesying a soft landing. How peculiar.

HPC did though.

So what we're back to is that on a bear board filled with bear nutjobs, soft landings were discussed and who knows, maybe even prophesied, back to 2002, which oddly enough was the year in which Geneer made the decision that was to blight his life ever after.

And as with most HPC predictions, they got it wrong much more often than random chance would suggest likely. Most years they got it wrong because prices continued to rise. One time they got it wrong because there was a correction due to an economic crisis that had nothing to do with UK house prices.

Geneer, you're an abject failure. You can't even use hindsight to construct a winning argument. You start a thread suggesting one thing is true, and it clearly isn't. The best you can do is to say that some people on a different board may have discussed soft landings. It's pitiful, in the genuine sense of that word.

And I know you're going to come back spitting bile and venom and trying to find places to attack, but the problem you have is that you've become a laughing stock even here, and really the only reason for keeping this thread running is to bait you into making yourself appear ever more ridiculous.

Yet another bull chips in with an angry, completely unrelated argument.
Gosh, the uncovering of this historical trend really does seem to be getting under some skins.

Obviously the relevance of singing pig is that is a well know home for "property bulls".
And with a couple of simple mouse clicks Julieqs assertion is further discredited.
