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

Sorry Lite, but your propensity for obtuse diversionary antics
really has been revealed in all its glory.
Bonkers!
Still, good to note that the case made has been impossible to contradict.
I suppose thats what incontrovertable evidence does for matters.
In other words, you have no answer to your errors in assumptions.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

What assumptions would those be?

Ignoring the soft landing question for second.
I think what's scary is the variance in house price growth between London and the rest of the country from 2001/2 onwards. London, the driver of the private sector was growing only at low single digits whilst parts of the north and Wales/Scotland/NIR growing at 25% a year simply on the basis of government spending. Government OVERspending as we now know.0 -

Your assumption that a stall turn results in a 'lovely big fireball'
Your assumption that a 'touch and go' does not tough the ground.
Your assumption that despite prices being higher now than the date in your thread title of 2002, you assume 'bulls' are still waiting for a soft landing.
Good night..................:wall:

Lite, sweetie, its not an assumption.
My imaginary plane quite clearly crashed in a fire ball.
See......and the plane plummets back to the ground in a spectacular fire ball, counts as a soft landing.

Well, for clarity, my orginal point is not that bulls are waiting for a soft landing.
Its that they've called a soft landing every year since 2002.
As it happens, yes, despite the actual crash, there are a handful of clowns who still want to call a soft landing.
Which clearly is nonsense, as the crash has happened.
So there can now, never, be a soft landing.
Though it is quite amusing watching the wriggling muppets attempt to argue that a significant increase followed by a significant crash counts as a soft landing.
Hence the imaginary plane analogy.0 -
Bonkers!
You clearly are.Hence the imaginary plane analogy.
Again you missed the point.
I used the plane anology to reflect that house prices did a touch and go.
A soft landing in a plane scenario would be a smooth decent followed by a levelling off.
That clearly didn't happen.
Still, house prices are still stronger than they were in 2002 or 2005 (just for you) :wall:
