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

I'm sorry chuck, but you simply don't appear to be able to stay on topic.
Whilst at the same time being desperate to say something.
The question is why?
I'm desperate because I haven't any trump cards and there are no cheap bedsits to rent in my area so I'm stuck in this bloody 3 bed detached houseChuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -
Thing is chuckN, theres someone who actually thinks timing is quite important.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Of course timing is important who said it wasn't? But are you not a bit late, I've just checked my watch and the time was 9 years past time to buy (for you that is)Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -
A yes. The singing pig. That well know bear hang out.
Your assertion is ridiculous Julieq.
But not as ridiculous as your continued insistance on
arguing against the obvious.
They didn't discuss the "possibility" of a soft landing dear.
They called it.
Year.
After.
Year.
Yes.
The bulls who called the soft landing year after year were wrong for quite a long time.
Sadly, even last year didn't bring any relief.
There can be no soft landing after a crash I'm afraid.
The fact that bulls and bears are not homogenous group is obvious of course. But it is convenient to use the terms as reflective of the majority opinion without a multi paragraph disclaimer each and every time we do so.
But the comedy comes when someone (lets say you) makes a delightful argument for individual diverse range of opinions before declaring that the bears are in fact a homogenous group and then speaking on behalf of all bulls. :rotfl:
Nice strawman thrown in there by the way.
Theres a veritable scarecrow army on here today.
Sadly Julieq, despite the obvious nature of the crash there are numerous bullish posters who regularly deny that it occoured.
It is tedious and highly disingenuous for you to argue otherwise.
Why did the crash need to start earlier and lower?
I'm going to guess this has something to do with "timing" yes.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
As do many of us I'm sure.
Though of course "seemed to remember" does seem quite dismissive of the raft of undeniable supporting evidence contained in the OP.
Stagnation without collapse. That is the definition of the soft landing Julieq.
Indeed. Continued house price inflation =/= "soft landing".
This is a simple fact.
Yet again, speaking for the non-existent bull hive mind you so vocally claimed doesn't exist are you Julieq?
Its fantastic that you are aware of every post every bullish member of MSE posted here over the last few years. And indeed posted on HPC (prior to their punting from the same) where its clear that the soft landing was a hot topic even 5 years ago.
Right about there being no soft landing.
And right about there being a crash.
Maybe not so great on the timing (I mean it was whole year and a half after I joined HPC before the wheels decisively came off:rotfl:).
But then, as this thread clarifies, its not just the bears who had a problem with their timing.
Clearly. But maybe a cup of tea and biscuit will cheer you up.

what kind of a "bullish bear" doesn't call a rise in prices every year anyway?0 -

Oh, an excellent and well thought out response there.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I take it my points are well made.
By "bullish bear" you of course mean bull.
And I suppose the answer is that the type of bull that doesn't call a rise every year is the type that calls a soft landing every year instead. 0 -

What would you like me to argue (debate) geneer? The problem is you type rubbish which is not possible to argue rationally. I'm afraid I can pnly argue logically, not things from your fantasy world.

Sorry Julieq.
This has already been addressed.
The soft landing has always been a bullish invention.
Aside from clear memories of the same (no doubt shared by the majority of the forum, though apparently some would rather forget the same) for a laugh I've also provided several examples clearly demonstrating that my observation is accurate.
None of which you've been able to disbute, other than by meaningless unsubstantiated assertion.
Besides, you ask what kind of bull calls anything other than a rise in prices ever?
Hmmmm. You may want to have a word with the bull collective, because post crash they do seem to have appropriated stagnation and real term falls as a "win" for the bulls.
That would be a "BOOM HEADSHOT" by the way. :T0
